Recently, a person who was once close to singer Whitney Houston spoke to the media. He revealed his feelings about the singer's passing and said that Whitney Houston left him a keepsake before she passed away.

In an interview with the Daily Mail published on December 27, former police officer David Roberts - on whom the 1992 film The Bodyguard was partly inspired - opened up about his time protecting legendary singer Whitney Houston.

Accordingly, Welsh-born David Roberts, who was Whitney Houston's bodyguard from 1988 to 1995, gave an interview ahead of the publication of his memoir "Protecting Whitney", scheduled for release in January 2025.

David Roberts insists that at the height of his career, Whitney Houston's safety was his top priority. He says there was an evening when the star leaned her head on his shoulder and he wanted to "give up everything" to change the nature of their relationship.

"If you cross that line, you lose your objectivity and it endangers the person you're protecting," David Robert told the outlet. "That's why Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner's character in The Bodyguard) and Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston's character) couldn't be together, he crossed the line and that was the end of him as the person who was hired to do that job." "Most of what's in the movie, she and I actually went through. Little details like Rachel clinging to the back of his shirt to get away from the crowd of fans. That's how we did it," David Robert continued.

Whitney Houston's former bodyguard, who now lives in Florida, also revealed that he still has a note the diva wrote to him more than 35 years ago: "It was written on a note and she slipped it under my door at the Regency Hotel in Hong Kong in 1988. I still have it - it's faded with age but it's still very precious to me." David Robert also told The Guardian at the time that the I Will Always Love You hitmaker's death in 2012 still angered him: "A lot of people could have done a lot to avoid it. They didn't. They abdicated their responsibility in favour of greed."

August 9 is Whitney Houston's birthday. If she were still alive, she would have turned 60 this year. Whitney Houston's fans around the world still remember her wonderful voice and classic songs: I Will Always Love You, I Have Nothing, Greatest Love Of All or the wonderful duet with Mariah Carey - When You Believe... For her fans, Whitney Houston will never die, because her voice is eternal. February 11, 2012 became the saddest day for Whitney Houston's family as well as many fans. Right before the Grammy Awards, that afternoon, people discovered that the famous singer had passed away in a bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills, USA.

Whitney Houston's death was ruled an accident. She drowned in a bathtub after using cocaine and suffered a sudden heart attack - the conclusion given in a 42-page report by the medical examiner. Whitney Houston passed away suddenly at the age of 49, ending the life of one of the most influential voices in world music. Forty minutes before her death, Whitney Houston called her mother, Cissy Houston, to say that her daughter seemed fine, with nothing unusual in her voice. To this day, 10 years after her death, many questions remain unanswered about how Whitney Houston died at the Beverly Hilton when she was just 48 years old.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born on August 9, 1963, in Newark, New Jersey, USA. Her father was a former Army soldier, and her mother was a gospel singer. Houston seemed to have a natural talent for music. She began singing in church at a young age, and devoted herself to singing professionally. Her voice developed so much during her teenage years that both Chaka Khan and Lou Rawls hired her as a backup singer. Soon, record producers noticed her and her career began.
