Whitney Houston has died. She was 48.
The singing superstar's publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that Houston died, but did not reveal the cause of death.
Earlier this week, the singer, a six-time Grammy winner, was spotted having a night out on the town in L.A. at "Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The Love Of R&B Grammy Party" at Tru Hollywood.
Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use.
At her peak in the 1980s and `90s, Houston the golden girl of the music industry and one of the world's best-selling artists.
Among her hits were How Will I Know, Saving All My Love for You and I Will Always Love You. She won multiple Grammys including album and record of the year.
Her success carried her beyond music to movies like The Bodyguard.
But by the end of her career, drug use took its toll as her record sales plummeted and her voice became raspy and hoarse.
