We don’t know yet if it was drug related but she ruined herself over drugs.
I think this is such a shame on so many levels after years of loving her voice. And that National Anthem at the start of the Gulf War at the Super Bowl (1991?)ranks the best ever sang by anyone.
She had it all and threw it all away. Listening to her trying to sing after her comeback last year was just painful. She threw it all away for drugs.
I just saw pictures of her taken a few nights ago as she was leaving a nightclub (link below). It looks as if she was on another downward spiral. I hope she has found the peace she was looking for.
I just viewed the youtube of her performance. OMG, I have never heard anyone sing it so well. She was perfect.
