From the pop courts to the pop emergency room, and this one is making feel queasy just writing it. EMI-signed LA-based artist
Houston, promoting his album 'It's Already Written' in the UK, has reportedly "gouged out his eye" following a failed suicide attempt. Sources say the singer first attempted to jump out of the window of his London hotel, but was stopped by his security staff. He then locked himself in his room where the self-inflicted injury reportedly took place. A spokesman for
EMI's Capitol division told reporters: "Our thoughts and prayers are with Houston during this tragic time".
