從1980年代開始走紅、一度在流行樂壇叱吒風雲的天后歌手惠妮休斯頓，傳出已經過世的消息，得年48歲。至於死因以及死亡地點為何，她的公關與經紀人均未進一步說明。

惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）的公關佛斯特（Kristen Foster）向媒體證實，這位女星已經於今天（11日）過世，得年48歲。

至於惠妮休斯頓死亡原因究竟為何，以及死亡地點位於何處，佛斯特均未進一步說明。

這位女星最近出現在美國媒體前，是前幾天出席好萊塢為即將舉辦的葛萊美獎而暖身的派對。她被媒體拍到神情憔悴，左手臂有一道道的疤痕，小腿上更有看起來像是乾掉的血漬。

1963年8月9日出生於新澤西州紐瓦克（Newark）的惠妮休斯頓，天生有副老天爺賞賜的好歌喉。她在22歲首次發片，1985年推出了同名專輯狂賣2400萬張，創下美國女歌手首次發片最佳銷售成績。

1987年，她的第二張專輯「惠妮」（Whitney）同樣受到歌迷喜愛。1992年發行「終極保鑣」（The Bodyguard）電影原聲帶專輯，創下女歌手連續發行3張專輯都突破900萬張銷售量的風光紀錄。

「終極保鑣」電影主題曲「我會永遠愛你」（I Will Always Love You），1993年在告示牌排行榜百首熱門單曲榜（Billboard Hot 100）締造連續14週穩坐冠軍的紀錄，橫掃世界各國流行音樂排行榜，讓她抱走了葛萊美年度最佳專輯、最佳唱片等大獎。

全球累計1億7000萬張唱片銷售量的傲人成績，曾經讓她成為國際流行音樂市場最具銷售實力的頂尖女歌手。

只不過，經過1980年代與1990年代的大紅大紫，惠妮休斯頓卻在過了2000年之後，招牌高音再也飆不上去，幾次現場演唱表現極差，有歌迷氣得提前離場，在網路上更是罵聲不斷。

大起大落的歌唱生涯，毒品是極為關鍵的影響因素。

原本在出道之後維持良好形象的她，從1990年代晚期開始，好萊塢媒體報導就陸續傳出這位女星經常遲到、突然取消演出等異常行為。另外，她的體型爆瘦，在鏡頭前言語脫序且恍神，不少八卦媒體報導她罹患厭食症以及吸毒、嗑藥，但她均嚴於否認。

2002年，她接受美國廣播公司（ABC）新聞雜誌節目「黃金時段」（Primetime）專訪時，首度坦承自己確實有酗酒、使用大麻、古柯鹼等毒品以及依賴某些藥物的嗑藥問題。

她在訪問中表示，不喜歡把自己歸類成「酒鬼」或「毒鬼」，她覺得自己只是有「壞習慣」，而這些壞習慣也是可以糾正過來的。

她說：「我置身的這一行，到處充斥著性、毒品與搖滾樂，我跟朋友們有段玩得很瘋的快樂時光。不過，隨著年紀漸漸大了之後，也變得更有智慧了。」

惠妮休斯頓在1992年與嘻哈歌手巴比布朗（Bobby Brown）結婚，但維繫14年的婚姻期間，這對銀色夫妻不斷傳出吸毒、嗑藥等事件，巴比布朗更多次因為酒駕、持有毒品等問題被捕，最後兩人以離婚收場。

近兩年，好萊塢媒體也傳出這位女星面臨財務窘境的消息，甚至因為積蓄花光，必須向友人借錢過生活。

Legendary pop singer Whitney Houston has died at age 48, representative Kristen Foster said Saturday night.

The cause of death and where she died were not immediately known.

According to her official website, Houston, who struggled with addiction problems over the years, sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos over her career.

Houston was set to appear in this year's "Sparkle," a remake of the 1976 hit, which was loosely based on the story of The Supremes. It was her first movie role since 1996's "The Preacher's Wife."

Her body of work includes seven straight Billboard No. 1 hits in the 1980s, including "Saving All My Love for You," "Greatest Love of All" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go." Billboard puts her soundtrack to the movie "The Bodyguard" as one of the top 10 biggest-selling albums of all time. She also starred in the film.

The daughter of singer Cissy Houston, Whitney was born on August 9, 1963, in Newark, New Jersey. Famed music producer Clive Davis reportedly spotted Houston 20 years later in a New York nightclub, signing her on the spot, according to her website.

Her rendition of the national anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl, days into the first Persian Gulf War, earned raves and cemented her place in the American musical landscape.

After "The Bodyguard," Houston went on to appear in several more films in the 1990s, including "Waiting to Exhale."

In 2000, Houston earned her sixth Grammy for best female R&B performance and, a month later, she was named female artist of the decade at the "Soul Train" Music Awards.

Her career stalled, however, in subsequent years as she entered rehab for addiction problems.

In May 2011, Houston got help for her much-publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol, her representative said at the time.
