Yesterday was Whitney Houston’s Home Going Service in Newark, NJ. The funeral was broadcasted and guests such as Alicia Keys, Kevin Costner, R. Kelly, Tyler Perry, Clive Davis, Dionne Warwick, and more were in attendance and paid tribute to the legendary singer. Notably missing was Whitney’s Godmother, Aretha Franklin. Aretha did however make it to her Radio City concert yesterday night. Find out why she missed the funeral after below
Regretfully, I am so sorry that I was unable to be with you at Whitney’s service today. I had every intention of being there. But unfortunately I had terrible leg spasms and locked leg muscles until 4:00AM this morning following my concert last night, which I’ve been having for the last few days. I feel it necessary and very important to stay off my leg today as much as possible until concert time this evening. My heart goes out to my dear friend Cissy, Dionne, Bobbi Kristina and the rest of the family. May God keep them all.”
