Whitney Houston, the highly acclaimed American R&B, soul, pop and gospel singer has died aged 48.

Her career had spanned three decades, as she first found fame at the top of the charts in the 1980s with a staggering seven consecutive Billboard No.1s including hits such as 'Greatest Love of All' and 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody'.

It was in 1992 however that she would rise to record-breaking super stardom when she starred in and sang the soundtrack to the hit movie The Bodyguard. The signature track ‘ I Will Always Love You’, a cover of a Dolly Parton song, shot to number 1 in many countries selling 12 million copies worldwide. It stayed at the top of the UK charts for an exceptionally long 10 weeks.

During this time the singer has since admitted to becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol and recreational drugs. Although she continued a successful and acclaimed career until her death, it was reported that she was physically and mentally showing the strain of this lifestyle.

She died in the Beverly Hilton Hotel in LA the night before she was to attend the Grammys - where in previous years she had been presented with a total of six awards.

She is survived by her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, whose father is Houstons ex-husband Bobby Brown.

Theatre owner Sheila Van Dam looks on as Revudeville closes for the last time in 1964

The 3rd February, 2012 marks the 80th year of the Windmill Theatre opening for Revudeville, a non-stop revue which lasted for 32 years. The iconic nude tapestry show was famously created by Mrs Henderson - whose adventures in theatre were immortalised on the big screen as 'Mrs Henderson Presents', the 2005 movie starring Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins and Will Young.

It was the Windmill's boast that "We never closed" right through the war, even though there were actually 12 days' compulsory closure at the start of the Second World War in September 1939, when all West End theatres were forced to shut down. During times of heavy bombing, the Windmill girls would sleep at the theatre.

It was also the scene of early shows by before-they-were famous warm up acts such as Bruce Forsyth, Jimmy Edwards, Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe, Alfred Marks and Tony Hancock.
