The Associated Press reports that Houston's publicist denied earlier reports that he had tried to commit suicide by jumping out of a London hotel window. The publicist said Houston had "found himself in the midst of a spiritual battle against the evil that runs rampant in the entertainment industry." In addition, the singer's body guard, Marco Powell, issued this statement: "I went to check on him before going to bed, and I saw blood on the floor. Houston was lying on his bed with a towel over his face, and I removed the towel to find his eye hanging out. He said he had to get the devil off of his back, and that's the only way he could kill the devil." The statement went on to explain that Houston was raised strictly Christian and was "constantly at odds with the temptations that come with success in the music business."
Is there a devil? Find out who says so!
Houston, whose full name is Houston Summers IV, released the single "I Like That" in 2004 and within a month, it was certified gold. In addition, it was used in a McDonald's commercial. He was briefly hospitalized for his serious eye injury and then returned to his home in Los Angeles. AP notes that the condition of his eye is not known.
