Wow! I wasn't expecting anything like that happening. She was only 48 too! Sad!

Well, that's a shame.
She was definitely a staple of 80s/early 90s radio play. An icon of that era, for sure.

When I tried to think of one of her songs all I could think of was the Titanic song. Then realized wrong person but same kind of singing.

Nah, believe it or not it's pretty hard to kill yourself with drugs or alcohol unless you OD. Abuse sets in in your 50's and kills you in a variety of not so fun ways, especially a woman. Take Amy W. That was SERIOUS drug use. Whitney I think was like MJ. An increasing use of prescription drugs.....*Removed*.

Drugs in, dead out. I feel for her daughter who she had with her druggie hubby Bobby Brown. Only a matter of time. At least her daughter is set for life.
BTW, if she would have cared about her daughter as much as she cared about her addictions, she'd still be alive.
If she hadn't been a star and turned herself into a has-been, no one would care. That's what is sad to me.
Got some stuff in a plastic box that's makes my screen turn on when I push the button on the front, cool. I think it's aliens, but I'll have to confirm with voodoo do-er on that.

I had thought she was on the way to being clean. She had made a few appearances out in public as I thought she was promoting becoming clean/sober and doing new music as she was getting her voice back. Guess it didn't last long or was possibly a cry for help?
Can probably blame Bobby Brown for this.......Def unfortunate death of someone who should have had the power to walk away from something that was beneath her.

Unless he put the drugs in her then you can't blame him for what she did and kept doing

A great talent who is gone just before the Grammy awards. I am very interested in the coroner's report when it is made official.

Now make place for the rihannas gagas magas biebers etc. that showing nothing but p**n and immoralitiy in their clips and songs
