Whitney Houston
So Whitney Houston died and the news broke social media.
Facebook exploded, pieces fell off YouTube and Twitter practically melted as music fans around the world took to their keyboards to tell how much their hearts hurt and how all of this was that BASTARD Bobby Brown’s fault. Tsk. Not humping around. Indeed.

Whitney Houston has died, aged 48. Poor Whitney, who was a shining star in the 80s and 90s, but ended up diminished by drugs, dishevelled, a mess. Another celebrity fall from grace.

A Punch team member who shall remain anonymous has vivid memories of imitating Whitney in I Wanna Dance With Somebody (above) and begging their mother for a Whitney-esque perm, which was - thankfully - refused.
