Clive Davis Cried, Begged Whitney Houston To Stop Drug Abuse

In his upcoming documentary, Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives, viewers will be able to see a note Clive Davis wrote to Whitney Houston, begging her to stop doing drugs.

The famed record producer penned the letter when he saw the terrible way Houston looked at a 2001 event. "Dearest Whitney," Davis wrote. "When I saw you Friday night at the Michael Jackson concert I gasped. When I got home, I cried.” 

Davis continued: “My dear, dear Whitney, the time has come. Of course I know you don't want to hear this. Of course I know that you're saying that Clive is being foolishly dramatic. Of course I know that your power of denial is in overdrive dismissing everything I and everyone else is saying to you. … I join your mother in pleading with you to face up to the truth now, right now, and there is no more time or postponement. You need help and it must begin now. I will stand by you with love and caring to see you through it to newfound peace and happiness in every way as a woman, as a mother, as a role model to inspire the rest of the world. Love, Clive."

On February 11, 2012, Houston passed away. This occurred hours before Davis' annual pre-Grammy Party.
