Bobby Brown Pays Tribute To Whitney Houston

Bobby Brown was on stage performing with New Edition at a show in Mississippi just hours after his ex-wife Whitney Houston was found dead at the Beverly Hilton hotel Saturday.

Us Weekly reports that Brown missed the first song of the set, but then joined New Edition onstage.

Bobby Brown expressed his love for the late Whitney Houston on Saturday night while performing onstage with New Edition at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS., according to the Associated Press. "First of all, I want to tell you that I love you all,"Brown told the audience. "Second, I would like to say, "I love you Whitney." The hardest thing for me to do is come on this stage."

 At one point in the concert, a teary Brown shouted "I love you, Whitney!" and blew a kiss toward the sky. While performing "Tenderoni," Brown broke down, sobbing and asked the crowd to sing along.



 It has to be mentioned that Brown heard about the death of his ex-wife while getting ready to perform with the reunited New Edition. Brown said he decided to perform the show because of the support fans had shown the band over the years. During an intermission, Houston’s hit “You Give Good Love” played over the speakers.
