Revelations about the Demise of Great Singer Whitney Houston

The exact cause of death of the singer Whitney Houston remains uncertain but Coroner may have come up with it though it was not yet ready for publicity. According to officials, they will not release the results of autopsy because the police detectives requested for it as part of their investigation.

Whitney was found without pulse and not breathing in the bathroom of her hotel room at Beverly Hilton. The Coroner stated following the initial investigation that there are no signs of trauma in the body of the singer but they are not ready for a conclusion for they still need to wait for the results of toxicology analysis so further investigation is needed.

Police Lieutenant of Beverly Hills Mark Rosen talked about the details that they might release today but they still need to wait for the decision of the detectives whether they will be allowing it or not at present. However, below are some of the details known so far.

According to a person who was present in the event, the singer had been at a rehearsal for the concert of Clive Owen teaching Brandy and Monica. The identity of the source remains a mystery as well because of having no right to speak in public yet.

The source also noticed that the singer was looking scruffy during that time, sweaty with alcoholic breath. The smell of her clothes proved that the golden girl of the music circle smoke several minutes ago. It is the latest when it comes to the countless stories associated to the demise of uniquely gifted and beautiful music icon.

While Reverend Al Sharpton is preaching at the Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles, he remembered the singer stating his approval that Houston had an excellent range. He also agree that the singer is capable in hitting high notes that no one else can do but Houston is different because she was born and bred in the bosom of black church. The congregation agreed to what Sharpton stated by shouting “Amen”.

Sharpton stated in his statement that numerous singers could hit notes as Houston but those singers do not necessarily hit the heart of listeners. Other singers may say words but it does not necessarily have a remarkable meaning all the time. That makes Houston different because she has the talent and anointing that help her reach out to her listeners and make them feel great.

Whitney Houston was born on August 9, 1963 and passed away on February 11, 2012. She once broke the Guinness World Record being the most-awarded female act of all time. She was one of the few best selling music artists of the world with more than 170 million albums and singles as well as videos.

Jackson Silhouette Featured in a Billion Pepsi-Cola Cans

For the global pop culture advertisement campaign, the maker of Pepsi cola is planning to put the silhouette of the late Michael Jackson onto one billion Pepsi cola in can.

The limited edition Pepsi cola tin cans will be available first in China and in the United States later this month but it will be available in some other countries in Asia, South America and Europe as well later this year. The image of the late pop star will appear in some of his iconic poses for the advertisement that will go along with the silver anniversary of his album “Bad”. Some may remember the late king of pop appearing in the commercial of Pepsi cola as “the choice of a new generation” some times in the 80s.

The supporters of the musician may participate for a contest as well in order to win tickets for the show Cirque du Soleil, “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour”. As part of the campaign, estate of Jackson, Pepsi and Sony Music Company will be working hand in hand to share new mixes from the album of Jackson “Bad”.

The executives of Jacksons Estate, John Branca and John McClain released a statement saying that they are thrilled to bring the king of pop and Pepsi together in celebration for the 25th year anniversary of the album “Bad” and tour featuring the iconic poses of the singer in a billion Pepsi tin cans.

The limited edition Michael Jackson inspired tin cans is a part of New “Live for Now” campaign of Pepsi that is aiming to harness pop culture while increasing sales. At present, Pepsi cola is at the third spot in the declining sales of carbonated drinks in the United States. It is behind Coca-cola and Diet coke. Pepsi announced earlier this week that rapper Nicki Minaj will be featured in a Pepsi commercial still as part of the “Live for Now” campaign.

Jackson has been attached to Pepsi since early 1980s following his appearance along with the Jackson 5 brothers in a Pepsi advertisement. However, the memories of the singer with Pepsi is not always good because the famous hair of Michael was caught by fire while shooting a Pepsi commercial in Los Angeles exposing his scalp. The accident was blamed to addiction of painkillers of the musician leading to his confinement rehabilitation center for proper treatment in early 1990s.

The king of pop passed away at the age of 50 years as a result of Profofol and sedative overdose while his doctor is serving four year of imprisonment in Los Angeles as a result of involuntary killing. However, the fans of the musician keep on supporting him in terms of album sales. This might be the reason behind Jackson is back with Pepsi. Sales of carbonated drinks keep on decline and Jackson may somehow lend a hand in this particular dilemma.
