Whitney Houston’s poor Birmingham show strengthens drug rumours
April 15th, 2010 - 6:00 pm ICT by ANINew York, April 15(ANI): Whitney Houston’s recent concert in the U.K has strengthened rumours that she may be using drugs.
The singer gave a rather ordinary performance at the LG Arena in Birmingham.
In fact, the show was so below par that fans, who had paid more than 200 pounds for a ticket, demanded refund.
Houston apparently disappeared for a 20-minute break during the show.
The backup singers sang ‘Queen of the Night’ and ‘For the Love of You,’ while ‘One Moment in Time’ was shown in a pre-recorded video montage.
“It was a con, a ripoff. It wasn’t a concert,” the New York Daily News quoted a fan as saying.
Another added: “She kept the crowd waiting for ages after every song, and all she did was talk to stop her from having to sing. I was so looking forward to it, but I appeared to have wasted [my money].”
The concert echoed Houston’s Sydney performance in February this year.
Her ordinary performances have been blamed on use of drugs.
However, Houston’s reps have branded accusations of drug use “ridiculous”. (ANI)
