As the man responsible for her stardom, one can only imagine how Clive Davis is coping with the death of long time friend, Whitney Houston.
Especially, taking into account that she passed in the very hotel he was holding his annual Pre- Grammy party, a party she was set to perform at.
Now, hours after her death, shots of Davis being comforted by ‘Million Dollar Bill‘ maestra Alicia Keys have surfaced online.
Peep these snaps and more from Davis’ Pre- Grammy Gala below…
On Houston, Keys explained:
There are so many things … when you lose someone you love, then you think back to how much this person touched your life,Whitney was the barometer of what I hoped for and dreamed about.
Then you meet the person and you form this friendship/sisterhood bond. The same man (Clive Davis) who helped her dreams come true made mine come true.
Diddy also shares his thoughts on the star, with:
Her beautiful smile, incredible energy and grandma hugs that shook your body … That made me get dressed; her natural positive spirit. We should celebrate Whitney Houston tonight. Listening to her sing was like a gift from God.

I know whos gonna have a number album next week
Is that Cassie with Diddy?
Alright then…
He was thé first one I thought of when I learned Whitney had died.
Alicia looks good by the way.
@Aishaaguilerakeys
The first one I thought about was Bobbi Kristina. And then her wonderful mother, who has suffered hell for her whitney. So sad
Also, I don´t even want a tribute. Just a compilation or something. or at least a big act like Alicia doing it. Jennifer Hudson and othe lessers are no Whitney houston I´m so tired of those stupid comparisons
And yeah tha sales are going to be huge, more like with michael than what they were with Amy. This is WHITNEY HOUSTON. Probably the best voice ever in pop music and definitely one of the 4 biggest music stars EVER
Alicia looks great
l cant belive Diddy treated Cassie like his official girl for the first time 😯 Good for them.
I’LL BE TUNING IN JUST TO SEE THE TRIBUTE!!!!!!

Should have been Mariah, Madonna & Beyonce (when giving birth)…time will come.
That was great singing, Alicia.
Gaga Army, could you be any more respectful ? You think Gaga would approve of someone who only has nasty things to say ?
I THINK JHUD IS THE BEST PERSON TO SING WHITNEYS SONGS SHE HAS A VERY STRONG VOICE TOO SO IT MATCHES…..STOP HATING SHE IS A GRAMMY N OSCAR WINNER GIVER HER SOME RESPECT!! DONT GET MAD!
Alicia knows how to give a real tribute to someone. It comes from the heart. Love this lady so much.
Alicia was very good.
