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."

"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire" Mark 9:47

How sad!

As an Aussie, who is he?

It is easy sometimes to blame the Devil, God or any one else for decisions we make.
Obviously he needed some help. It is a pity that in the entertainment industry many people have suffered from stress, which opens up drugs and any thing else. Where was his support team? Did he listen to them or is the continual workload mean that issues (other than financial profits) are not important enough.

We need to pray for and support through fan clubs our fav musos and vocalists.

So my next question...

...who is Chingy?

 

[WhoeverLovesGod01]

Chingy did "Right Thurr", "Holiday Inn" and "One Call Away..." probably the best known.

i don't think it was drugs. what i heard is that he is schizophrenic and such things as believing that the devil is accosting you is quite common w/such a disease. i feel awful for him. to battle with a mental illness like schizophrenia is something that no one should have to deal with.....
