Chaka Khan has criticised Clive Davis and blamed him for Whitney Houston'S death. Chaka Khan has not kept her feelings to herself as she criticised the music mogul on Piers Morgan's 'Tonight' show.

The 'I'm Every Woman' singer, whose song was actually covered by Houston in 1993, stated: 'I stand on, whoever flew her out to perform at that party, should have provided someone to be there. To somehow, keep the riff-raff out of the situation. To keep the dangerous people away. I mean, I've cried for her, a lot over the years, so many times. In a way I've mourned her, because I felt something was gonna happen because she was so close to the wire.' Khan herself has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction in the past. When talking about the pre-Grammy bash that Davis had in the same hotel that very same night, Khan said: 'I thought that was complete insanity. And knowing Whitney I don't think that she would've said, 'The show must go on,' she's the kind of woman who would've said, 'stop everything! I'm not going to be there.' I don't know what could motivate a person to have a party in the building where the person whose life he had influenced so enormously [had died]'.

Whitney Houston was found unconscious in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton hotel room that afternoon. Houston was buried in New Jersey yesterday (18 Feb 2012).
