NEW YORK -- The devil made him do it, representatives for R&B singer Houston said in a statement explaining how his eye was seriously gouged. Houston's publicist issued a statement saying Houston "found himself in the midst of a spiritual battle against the evil that runs rampant in the entertainment industry."
Houston, whose 2004 single I Like That was used in a McDonald's commercial, was found in his London hotel room Thursday with a serious eye injury. He was briefly in hospital.
"Houston was lying on his bed with a towel over his face and I removed the towel to find his eye hanging out," said bodyguard Marco Powell. "He said he had to get the devil off of his back and that's the only way he could kill the devil."
The publicist's statement quoted Houston as saying: "I still love all my fans. Please pray for me and know I'll be back with some more hits."
