Following last week’s unfortunate Whitney comeback show, news hits the wires of one that apparently went well! With actual singing! Whitney was paid, according to the brilliant reporting of the Telegraph, somewhere between “£100,000 to £1.7 million” to perform a series of hits for an audience including the Sugababes, Mickey Rooney, and Buzz Aldrin. Internet reports are rather vague as to the quality of the show itself, although it’s good to know Elton John’s partner has her back, telling a reporter “When you have someone like Whitney who is spectacularly talented, I think they can take as much time off as they want and if they get the right songs they can come back and sell lots of records.” [The Telegraph]
