R&B singer Houston gouged out his eye after an apparent suicide attempt at a London hotel, sources close to the singer said.
The Los Angeles native, who scored a hit last year with the Chingy and Nate Dogg-featured "I Like That" (see
"Houston Scores Club Hit With Help From Chingy, Nate Dogg"), was overseas for a series of performances when the incident occurred. According to sources close to the artist, he first attempted to jump out of a hotel window but was stopped by his security personnel. He was then locked in his hotel room, where he injured himself.
There are currently no further details on the incident. Representatives for Houston's label, Capitol Records, could not be reached for comment.
