The Plain Truth...

[A Statement From The Whitney Houston Platinum Club]

Amazingly, the press has pounced on Whitney's absence at this year's Oscar Awards. The truth of the matter is simply that Whitney Houston was unable to perform because of a sore throat. We all know that she has been busy working on new material for her upcoming Greatest Hits package; so, it's not impossible to think that she's been working her chords overtime as of late. As further affirmation, Jane LaBonte, the Oscar event publicist, attested, "I was in the rehearsal myself the whole time, and it was really obvious the poor lady was having a problem with her throat." It was a mutual decision made by Whitney Houston, Burt Bacharach - the producer of the musical sequence - and the producers of the show, that Whitney not perform that evening.

So, the Platinum Club would ask of Whitney's fans: don't believe the hype. Whitney is fine and recuperating from the spell, and is busily working to complete her recording sessions in order to release her Greatest Hits album on time.
