In the 7 years since Pop icon Whitney Houston passed away there have been multiple documentaries, musical projects (i.e. live album, re-releases), television specials, a 2016-announced hologram tour (click here to read more on that), and more in her honor.
And, if a recent statement from her estate – run by sister-in-law Pat Houston – is to judge by, those ventures were only the beginning of a long list of endeavors to keep the late singer’s legacy alive.
Details inside:
Taking to the ‘New York Times,’ Pat said:
“Before she passed, there was so much negativity around the name; it wasn’t about the music anymore,” she said. “People had forgotten how great she was. They let all the personal things about her life outweigh why they fell in love with her in the first place.”
To serve ample reminder, the businesswoman is looking to push a number of new outings forward including a hologram tour, a new album compiled of previously unreleased music, and even talks of Broadway production.
“It’s been quite emotional for the past seven years,” Houston said. “But now it’s about being strategic.” Details are still forthcoming.
Reports suggest the “strategy” and new wave of output is the result of Primary Wave Music Publishing, a company Houston’s estate signed a contract with that would entitle the marketing organization to a whopping “50 percent of the Pop diva’s assets like music and merchandise.”
Pat is one crook. Anything to get her hands on some money. Go out and get a real job h0£! She’s just related through marriage anyway.
I think this is great!! And if you don’t like Pat Houston then why are you on here? Until someone shows me actual proof that she isn’t a good person I will always be her friend!! She is one of the nicest people I know and all you guys do is make things up to make her look bad! Give up because you don’t know her!! Every time someone posts garbage about her you can bet I will be posting too. Move along and start s*** about someone else!!
How is someone who is not related by blood manage to make all these decisions? Whitney has zero relatives left? This woman is a opportunist wanting to make a quick buck disgraceful.
Her mother and her brothers are still alive! Cissy Houston trusts and loves Pat Houston. If she didn’t Pat would not be making the decisions she made without talking to Cissy Houston. Why can’t you just let it go?
No. Just no to all of this smh.
Negativity surrounded Whitney and it also surrounded Amy and probably a list of artists who died due to alcohol/substance or mental health issues, but people never doubted their talent.
Whitney Houston is known as one of the greatest singers of all time still 7 years after she passed, and is still the bar for a lot of singers who are up and coming and want to prove their skill.
Pat is trying to make enough money for her and her family whilst pimping out Whitney’s name until she becomes oversaturated and bargain basement and there is no one out there who is going to stop her except Whitney and Bobbi from beyond the grave.
Whitney Houston can have her voice heard.. Celine, Mariah doing tours but Whitney Houston can’t, why because she is dead. Ohhh all the trophy now go to Carey, her greatest hits album was just on the charts last week
Why why like WHY??
“But now it’s about being strategic” …yea, ok Pat. Smh, just say you’re trying to pad your bank account and go. Maybe it’s just me but something seems fishy about this. A hologram tour?!?!! No ma’am, no ham, no turkey.
Hologram tour is too much. The last two docus about Whitney have very very good on the other hand. Ironically the ones without the Houston´s assistance or any sensationalist tv channel involved.
Nothing about Pat surprises me anymore. I am numb to her terrible and highly questionable decisions concerning Whitney. No sensible person is going to support this tour. I know I won’t.
So how do you know her?
When this release I will be in attendance, and a new album would shut all these bitchess up. The legend beautiful the voice Whitney Houston.
