Prince Bans Whitney Houston From His Concerts

By Boombox Editors Posted May 10th 2011 08:30PM

On Monday, a rep for Whitney Houston confirmed that the legendary R&B and pop songstress was admitted to an outpatient rehab program to combat her drug abuse. As details of Whitney's current relapse continue to emerge, Prince has been named as one of the celebrity pals who could no longer tolerate her antics.

TMZ reports that Prince's irritation pushed the 'Purple Rain' star to ban Whitney from attending any of his future concerts.

Sources revealed that the trouble arose after the diva attended a few of Prince's recent shows, where she seemed to be "intoxicated" at each event. TMZ went on to say that Whitney insisted on joining Prince on stage, but was denied the chance because his team "didn't want her to embarrass herself." Her last strike was making "excessive ticket demands," which eventually led Prince to ban Houston from any future performances.

Houston's battle with drugs and addiction has been an ongoing saga, which has been publicly splashed across the tabloids for years. Almost two weeks ago, she was voluntarily admitted to a California clinic for treatment.

The 47-year-old performer was forced to delay dates on the European leg of the Nothing But Love tour, scheduled to touch down in Berlin on May 12. Her current relapse reportedly occurred while she was on the road performing dates in countries that included Japan and Australia in the past few weeks.

Am I missing something here...Just how many of his concerts does he think she can attend if she's in rehab which can take from a month to several months.

Last I read she was in an outpatient rehab - I imagine she could attend any and all she wants - until he banned her.

Reliable sources say this story is bogus. Whitney has not been intoxicated at those concerts but has been nothing but polite. These type of stories are now taking to flight with the advent of social media and their platforms. It's getting so bad now you can't believe what you see on these mediums because just about everyone and their twin knows how to photo shop. Be afraid, people. Be very afraid.

@ caryn That's what people don't understand about addiction.SHE CAN'T HELP HERSELF! She needs help from others and God. I should know 1-10-98.

If Whitney wants to go to a Prince concert I'm sure that she can. She would just have to go in just like the rest of us "ticket buyers". I don't think Prince can stop that, but I'm also sure that that was not what he was talking about either.
