CNN/Piers Morgan Tonight
In a hastily arranged special tribute to Whitney Houston, Piers Morgan of Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN International (DStv 401) will talk to Chaka Khan and Wyclef Jean at 22:00 (South African time) remembering Whitney Houston.
CNN International just sent me an advisory to the Piers Morgan Tonight special of tonight, as well as a rush transcript, with Chaka Khan who will be telling Piers Morgan that the decision to proceed with Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party just hours after Whitney Houston's passing was ''complete insanity''.
''I thought that was complete insanity," Chaka Khan tells Piers Morgan. "I don't know what could motivate a person, to have a party, in a building, where the person, whose life he had influenced so enormously, and whose life had been affected by her ... I don't understand how that party went on."
''I too, was an addict,'' Chaka Khan will be telling Piers Morgan. ''I will never do cocaine again, I know that. But we are sensitive, highly sensitive people, entertainers.''
''I've cried for her a lot over the years, so many times, Chaka Khan says later in the interview tonight, ''And I've - in a way, I've mourned her because I felt that she was - something was going to happen because she was - we were - she was so close to the wire.''
