Legendary vocalist and well-known diva Whitney Houston was known to struggle tremendously with drug addiction in her life. Unfortunately, she was unable to maintain her sobriety and it ultimately cost her everything. In 2012, Whitney was in town for famous producer Clive Davis’ annual Grammy party where she was staying at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Whitney drank heavily and consumed Xanax and other prescription medications before taking a bath. In her inebriated state, she slipped into the water and was unable to pull herself out causing an accidental drowning. In previous days the legend had reportedly told friends, “I’m gonna go see Jesus, I want to see Jesus”. She was just 48 years old when she died.
