Whitney Houston has died, her rep confirms to The Hollywood Reporter. News broke at around 5 p.m. pacific standard time. The R&B singer and multiple grammy winner was 48 years old and was due to make an appearance at the Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala on Saturday night. She was spotted in the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Thursday morning where she was overheard chastising an assistant. Later that night, Houston got into an altercation with X Factor finalist Stacy Francis at an R&B appreciation event where she was said to be acting "belligerent.
On Friday night, as THR broke news that Houston had been approached for the judges' seat on X Factor, she was said to be at a spa, according to her publicist. Says a source close to Clive Davis, "This is a sad day and it will be a sad Grammys weekend." No word yet on the cause of death or whether it was drug-related.
