whitney houstonWhitney Houston’s long-awaited comeback album has reportedly been delayed because her vocal cords were so badly damaged during her years of drug abuse.

Whitney’s album was expected to be released late last year but has now been scheduled for November this year after her svengali, music executive Clive Davis insisted that she have singing lessons before returning to the studio.

A source told the Mirror: “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.

“But now she sounds terrific - she is going to blow everybody away.”
