R&B singer Houston apparantly tried to commit suicide in a London hotel room, according to a report from MTV News.
Sources close to the singer said that on Thursday Houston attempted to jump out of a hotel window but was stopped by his security personnel. After the attempt, he was locked in his hotel room, where the singer gouged out his own eye.
There is currently no further information about the incident, but photos of the singer's injury has been circulating the net.
Houston, who is a resident of Los Angeles, was overseas for scheduled performances when this incident occured. His debut album, It's Already Written, was certified gold a month after its release in August of 2003. The album's sales were fueled by his hit single "I Like That," which features Chingy and Nate Dogg.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Houston during this tragic time," said a Capitol spokesperson.
