Whitney Houston is featured on the latest cover of Us Weekly, with a feature on her “sad final days”. Whitney was found unconscious in the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 11th, after it was said that she mixed Xanax and alcohol. Whitney’s had a long past with drugs, famously saying “crack is whack” back in a 2010 interview.
The late singer’s funeral is set for Saturday in her hometown of Newark, New Jersey. Her mother, Cissy Houston has requested that gospel singer Marvin Winans perform her eulogy. He also officiated her wedding to Bobby Brown in 1992.
Pastor Joe Carter, who is leading the service, said, “She was able to leave us with so many wonderful memories of that God-given gift. That’s what we are celebrating on Saturday.”
New Hope Baptist Church has seating for 1,500 people and the Pastor revealed that he expects “all these empty pews to be filled with people whose hearts are broken.”
We hope that she has found peace from all of her demons. Her talent was one-of-a-kind and will be missed greatly. We grew up listening to Whitney all throughout the nineties. It is such a shame that she had to go out like that. We send our condolences and prayers to their family in this tough time.
