Kelly Price Honors Whitney Houston at Pre-Grammy Gathering: 'Keep Bobbi Kristina in Your Prayers'
Kelly Price, the singer and songwriter, recently hosted a pre-Grammy party in honor of Whitney Houston where she called for people to pray for the late singer's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown who is currently in critical condition.
Price, the 41-year-old singer and songwriter, hosted For the Love of R&B: A Tribute to Whitney Houston, which comes around the anniversary of the late singer's death that happened in February 2012. Houston's daughter, 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina, who she had with singer Bobby Brown was found facedown in a bathtub in a Georgia suburb outside of Atlanta last Saturday, according to TMZ reports.
While Bobbi Kristina is currently on life support and in a medically-induced coma, Price continued on with performing and hosting duties at the tribute gathering for Bobbi's mother Whitney. Price and Houston were longtime friends and they even performed a duet in the late singer's final performance at a similar pre-Grammy party in 2012.

At the 2015 version of the party without Houston on Feb. 4, Price asked people to pray for Bobbi Kristina.
"Speak well of Whitney Houston," she told the crowd in attendance, according to Us Weekly reports. "She deserves that from us. Keep her family in your prayers. Keep Bobbi Kristina in your prayers, if anyone can do it God can."
Price previously spoke to Rolling Stone about identifying with Houston as a friend because of their church upbringing.
"She's a church girl, she related to the church girl in me. I'm a church girl, I related to the church girl in her," Price previously told Rolling Stone. "And at the end of the day, whatever was going on, our conversation could always go back to the foundation of our lives, starting out singing in church. And no matter what was going on we could always go back to that."
