Less than a day after Whitney Houston’s death, her 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital on Sunday morning.
Whitney Houston and Clive Davis speak onstage at the 2011 Pre-GRAMMY Gala and Salute To Industry Icons Honoring David Geffen at the Beverly Hilton on Feb. 12, 2011.
A source close to the family who spoke on condition of anonymity said later that she was treated for stress and released from the hospital.
Houston’s death Saturday cast a pall over tonight’s Grammy Awards and the pre-ceremony gala Saturday night, but friends and strangers alike were remembering her pure voice and talent more than the trials of her later career.
At the Grammys, where Houston had been expected to sing, Jennifer Hudson was making plans to sing in her honor.
“It was a big shock when the news hit,” said Grammy executive producer Ken Ehrlich. “We’re definitely going to do something, but in some ways it’s too fresh and too early to do a full-blown tribute.”
Ehrlich said he had been on the phone with Grammy host LL Cool J several times since the news of Houston’s death broke Saturday evening.
“He’s trying to see what exactly he’ll say, but I’m glad he’s able to do so,” Ehrlich said.
Houston’s death Saturday afternoon at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills came hours before she was scheduled to appear at an annual pre-Grammy party that introduced her to the industry decades ago and was expected to honor the six-time Grammy winner.
