R&B Singer Houston Gouges Own Eye Out
POSTED: 9:37 am EST February 7, 2005
NEW YORK -- R&B singer Houston is recovering at his Los Angeles home following an eye-gouging incident in London.
Houston's publicist has released a statement denying reports that the singer tried to take his own life by jumping from a London hotel window, last week.
In the statement, the singer's bodyguard said he found Houston in the hotel room, lying on his bed with a towel over his face.
Bodyguard Marco Powell said he removed the towel and found Houston's eye hanging out.
Powell said Houston claimed he had to "get the devil off his back" and the only way he could do that was by killing the devil.
Houston was in "the midst of a spiritual battle against the evil that runs rampant in the entertainment industry," the statement also said.
The singer, whose real name is Houston Summers, was briefly hospitalized. The condition of his eye isn't known.
Houston, who had the 2004 hit "I Like That," has released a statement saying he still loves his fans. He asks fans to pray for him.
