London
(ANI):
Singer
Whitney
Houston's
highly-anticipated
comeback
album
was
delayed
because
her
addiction
to
drugs
had
damaged
her
vocal
cords,
say
reports.
Sources
have
revealed
that
the
44-year-old
singer's
vocal
cords
are
so
badly
damaged
that
she
was
finding
it
difficult
to
sing
at
the
studio.
She
could
not
even
hold
the
high
notes
of
her
own
song
'I
Will
Always
Love
You',
they
say.
Considering
all
that,
music
industry
exec
Clive
Davis
suggested
her
to
take
singing
lessons.
The
sources,
however,
have
also
said
that
the
singer's
voice
has
now
improved,
and
that
she
sounds
pitch
perfect
on
the
new
record.
"She
was
smoking
a
lot
and
taking
a
lot
of
drugs.
Her
voice
was
almost
unrecognisable.
Thousands
have
been
shelled
out
to
train
her
back
up
to
the
original," the
Mirror
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
But
now
she
sounds
terrific
she
is
going
to
blow
everybody
away,"
the
source
added.
The
album,
scheduled
for
a
release
on
November
10,
is
yet
to
be
named.
