Whitney Houston Shifts Into Emotional Overdrive

The New York Daily News reports Whitney Houston was so overcome with emotion after performing at a benefit dinner in the New York Sheraton Thursday night that she collapsed in sobs backstage and had to be comforted by her husband, Bobby Brown. “I’m so full tonight,” Whitney told the crowd, which gave her a rousing standing ovation. “Today was the first time I’ve been back since my father died. I sat with my brother today and we just cried.”
