Whitney Houston says that she is in great health. The legendary singer has rejected tabloid reports which claimed that the cause of her recent hospitalisation was a result of a drug relapse. Houston has been at the centre of media speculation regarding her well-being since the start of this year after a string of poor performances and lip-syncing during the Australian leg of her ‘Nothing But Love’ tour. Here is what she had to say to PEOPLE magazine below:
“I’m feeling great,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I’m just ready to move on and continue my world tour.”
Hospitalized earlier this week for an upper respiratory infection, Houston postponed the first four shows of her European tour, fueling tabloid speculation that she’s in a downward drug spiral.
Houston calls such reports “ridiculous” and says, “At this point, I just don’t respond. I don’t even read it.”
Checking into a hospital in Paris was doctor’s orders. “My health is terrific,” says the singer, 46. “But this is a time when I get a lot of allergies.”
Houston’s tour will resume on April 13 in Birmingham, England, and will continue through June. “I’m doing what I love to do, which is singing,” Houston says. “The best part is seeing all of my fans around the world.” {Source}
