WHITNEY HOUSTON, 48, 1963-2012

Whitney Houston, at times referred to as “The Voice” for her supreme vocal talent, is still considered one of the best-selling artists in music with her records of over 200 million sold worldwide. Unfortunately, the nightingale was found submerged in a bathtub on February 11, 2012. Death reports said that Houston drowned and died due to the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use. Bobby Brown, whose marriage with Whitney lasted from 1992-2007, shared that he simply wished for her to be remembered for the music that she gave to the world. Despite her sad demise, I Will Always Love You will always be playing in the hearts of true hardcore Whitney fans.
