The voice has gone silent.
Whitney Houston, one of the world’s greatest pop singers, died Saturday at the age of 48.
The death has shocked the music industry — with her superstar rise and once-in-a-generation vocal prowess juxtaposed by her later-life drug abuse and erratic behavior.
Houston leaves behind a daughter, friends and family, and a legion of fans, along with her music: more than 55 million records sold in the US; seven consecutive singles to reach number one; six Grammy Awards.
