Only 48.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/46355454

Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.

Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.

She had a voice and nothing else.

Tragic that she attracted what she did.

I'd prefer a game of Karl Pilkington's Rockbusters.

No doubt her latest album will have record sales. Death does that to a lot of singers; they die, and they become more famous :pac:

Once she got involved with Bobby Browne it was downhill from there.
