Singer Houston re-enters
clinic
|
Singer Whitney Houston has entered a rehabilitation clinic for the
second time in a year.
Houston's publicist Nancy Seltzer confirmed on Wednesday that the
41-year-old had checked into the facility, but gave no further details.
Houston, who has been working on a new album, spent five days in a
clinic in March 2004.
She admitted on US TV network ABC in 2002 that she had abused drugs but
had overcome her problems through prayer.
In 2000 she was detained at Keahole-Kona
International Airport in Hawaii after she was allegedly found to be
carrying a quantity of marijuana
.
However, the charges against her were dropped
after a drugs counsellor
said the singer did not need treatment for substance abuse.
Last month Houston was admitted to hospital in Paris with suspected
food poisoning, after being taken ill on a flight.
The singer has won six Grammy awards and scored a
string of chart-toppers, including Saving All My Love For You, One Moment
In Time and I Will Always Love You, from the soundtrack
to her hit film The
Bodyguard.
However, her troubled private life has overshadowed her musical
achievements in recent years.
Houston's husband Bobby Brown spent time in jail
in 2004 for parole violation,
and received a suspended
sentence
for missing child support
payments.
The couple, who live in Atlanta, were married in 1992 and have a
12-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
