(1888PressRelease) Bill White retired as
President of Intrepid Sea, Air Space Museum in
2010 and currently serves as Chairman and CEO of
Constellations Group, a strategic relationship
and business development firm, with the mission
of benefiting those who have given so much in
defense of our country. Beverly Hills, CA - Bill
White, retired Intrepid President and current
Chairman and CEO of Constellations Group,
recently attended Clive Davis' Annual Pre-Grammy
party at the Beverly Hilton. The initially somber
evening, in light of the sudden loss of Whitney
Houston just hours earlier, became a truly
extraordinary celebration of her life and the
music industry she loved. Bill White, like the
rest of the world, was shocked and saddened by
the passing of one of the biggest recording
artists of all time. "She must be up there in
heaven, God rest her soul," said the retired
Intrepid President. In an interview with
Christina Gonzalez from FOX 11 in LA, retired
Intrepid President Bill White explained that
everyone was in shock over this tragic loss of
such a revered wonder whose angelic voice
inspired millions. In an interview with Heidi
Collins from FOX 9 News, Bill White recapped the
evening's events and the shock among attendees.
Bill White went on to applaud Sean "Diddy" Combs'
tribute to Whitney Houston prior to introducing
the gala's host, Clive Davis. Diddy reflected on
the life of Houston fondly, noting her natural
positive spirit and listening to her sing was
like listening to magic. He then went on to
introduce the host of the pre-Grammy event, Clive
Davis. Davis, mentor of the late Whitney
Houston, took the stage and honored the fallen
star with a moment of silence. In his opening
remarks, Clive Davis said, "Simply put, Whitney
would have wanted the music to go on and her
family asked that we carry on." Following the
moment of silence, Davis declared, "Let the music
begin!" The evening's somber mood then turned
into a celebration of Whitney Houston's life.
"Clive's tribute to Whitney was so special,"
noted Bill White during the interview with Heidi
Collins.
Bill White extends his sincerest condolences to
the family and friends of Houston and wishes them
much peace and strength in dealing with this
unbearable loss.
