According to TMZ Houston and a group of friends "partied heavily" in the hotel bar and was later found in her hotel bath by a member of her entourage.

Neil Portnow, president/CEO of The Recording Academy, which produces the Grammy Awards, said:

A light has been dimmed in our music community today, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, fans and all who have been touched by her beautiful voice.

Houston has previously had huge success at the Grammy Awards, picking up Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female and Record Of The Year for 'I Will Always Love You', and Album Of The Year for 'The Bodyguard - Original Soundtrack' in 1993.

Producer Quincy Jones said of Houston's death: "I am absolutely heartbroken at the news of Whitney's passing. I always regretted not having had the opportunity to work with her. She was a true original and a talent beyond compare. I will miss her terribly."
