In a recent interview Whitney Houston's long time mentor Clive Davis acknowledges that Whitney is addicted to drugs and cigarettes and admits he won't be working with her again until she gets her voice back...
Clive tells Los Angeles’ KOST 103.5,
“Whitney has admitted that she’s had to conquer a drug addiction. That takes all of her energy. She also has had a very difficult time giving up cigarettes. In comparison, it sounds slight. But if you do have a cigarette problem in this instance, you can’t give it up. It is taking all of her energy. I know that she’s committed to do it. I know that she loves music. Right now she’s dealing with that situation and we’re not going to make another record or an album until that golden voice is there and is fully capable to knock everyone out”
