Bobby Brown Honors Whitney Houston At Post-Funeral Concert

Bobby Brown paid tribute to his ex-wife Whitney Houston on stage at a gig in Connecticut just hours after he walked out of her funeral on Saturday.

The late singer's famous friends and family members gathered at a church in Newark, New Jersey to honor her memory, but Brown was seen leaving the service after just 20 minutes.

He subsequently released a statement blaming his premature departure on seating issues, and he took to the stage with his New Edition bandmates in Connecticut later that evening as planned.

During the show at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Brown took a moment to remember his ex-wife and received a standing ovation from the crowd as he raised a finger to the sky and said, "Blessings to my ex-wife, Whitney Houston. I love you," according to E! Online.

He is due back on stage at the Newark PAC venue in New Jersey on Sunday.

 

Bobby Brown On Whitney's Death: 'We Will Get Through This Tradegy As A Family'

Whitney Houston's Autopsy Completed 

Bobby Brown has spoken out following his daughter Bobbi Kristina's hospitalization on Sunday, insisting the teenager will pull through her mother Whitney Houston's tragic death with the help of family.

The 18 year old was taken from the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles on a stretcher after suffering from anxiety issues a day after Houston was found dead at the same hotel.
Her singer dad cancelled a New Edition gig in Tennessee to be by her side, and he is determined to help Bobbi Kristina "get through" the tragedy.
In a statement to Extra, he says, "Today my daughter did visit with doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She has been released and is presently with my family, including her siblings.
"Obviously the death of her mother is affecting her, however, we will get through this tragedy as a family. Again, I ask for privacy during this time."
Brown and Houston divorced in 2007 after 15 years of marriage. Bobbi Kristina is their only child.
