SUPERSTAR Whitney Houston has spiralled into a world of squalor and degradation on deadly crack — as the shocking pictures in today's Sun newspaperreveal.
It shows the disgusting mess in the singer’s bathroom after a drug binge.
Drug paraphernalia including a crack-smoking pipe, rolling papers, cocaine-caked spoons and cigarette ends are strewn across the surface tops.
But Whitney, 42, no longer cares.
She was one of the biggest female artists of her generation — with a string of ’80s and ’90s hit singles like I Wanna Dance With Somebody and more than 100million albums sold.
Now she is a paranoid wreck hopelessly hooked on crack.
Drugs have devastated her once-famous beauty.

WHITNEY burst into the charts in 1985 with her debut Saving All My Love For You.
Chart toppers like I Wanna Dance With Somebody and One Moment In Time followed.
I Will Always Love You, from the soundtrack of her hit 1992 movie The Bodyguard, sold an astonishing 37million copies.
She won 21 American Music Awards and six Grammys.
She is haggard, with dark circles under her eyes and a deranged look on her face.
She regularly disappears for days and weeks at a time — holed up in seedy crack dens in dangerous parts of town.
And she has blown much of her multi-million pound showbiz fortune on her habit.
Now family and friends fear the addiction will end in her death unless she can beat it.
The bathroom photo was taken by Whitney’s sister-in-law Tina Brown at the five-bedroom mansion the star shares with her drug-abusing hubby Bobby Brown in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tina,sister of Bobby, is herself a self-confessed former addict who once regularly took crack with mum-of-one Whitney.
She is now clean. But she said: “The truth needs to come out. Whitney won’t stay off the drugs. It’s every single day. It’s so ugly. Everyone is so scared she is going to overdose.�
