R&B singer Houston, whose full name is Houston Summers IV, reportedly gouged out one of his eyes after a failed suicide attempt in a London hotel. MTV.com reports that last Thursday (January 27), the singer attempted to commit suicide by jumping off of the hotel balcony but was stopped by his security team. Houston then locked himself into a bathroom and gouged one of his eyes out. The singer was in Europe for a string of performances.
Details are still sketchy but on Wednesday (February 2), the singer's label, Capitol Records, released the following statement, "Our thoughts and prayers are with Houston during this tragic time."
The Los Angeles-based singer released his debut album, It's Already Written, last August. The set was certified gold for sales of 500,000 copies and featured the hit, "I Like That" featuring Chingy, Nate Dogg, and I-20.
When LAUNCH spoke to the singer last year, he explained that singing was in his blood. He said: "Been singing all my life. Pops is a singer, I'm the Fourth. You know he's Houston Summers the Third. You know he used to sing with Marvin Gaye back in the day. He used to do those background vocals. He was on the radio, so it's basically in my blood. Music is what I thirst for you know as well as God."

I would think it would have to be something a little more hardcore than crack to make you jab your eyeball out like that. Opium or lsd maybe...

Saw one guy walking around with his eyeball hanging onto his cheek by the nerve connections.
Later he told us that he could still see out both eyes. One just had a view down his face to the ground.
Neato!

It doesn't get much more hardcore than crack. PCP (angel dust) maybe.
Opium? You'd be too sedated and relaxed to want to gouge your eyes out.
LSD?
Do you know what any of these drugs do? You're saying crack isn't as hardcore?
ha!

I know a guy who smoked opium when ever he can't get weed because he can get it for like 10$ a gram. Opium is what heroine comes from and all the other goodies like Morphine and Oxy Contin. It's more of a relaxing type drug I have been told. I have never done it my self because I stick with ganja.

I had a buddy who did some opium out on the paintball fields. He ran full speed at the other teams base the second the game started. He was shot so many times that and sober person would have been in tears/pain for hours....All he did was smile and do it again the next game.

Um, Opium is a very ... chillin drug, you do not smoke opium, and run around and do crazy shit, unless you are 16, and propose a fake reaction to it. I have smoked opium, and done all kinds of other shit in the past, heh. So i seriously doubt opium is the one. My guess woudl be cocaine, as when you are on coke, your f*****g emotions go buckwild, anyone who has done coke, and reads this will totally understand that. Could be anything though really, ive seen people do some off the wall shit on just alcohol... so who the hell knows.
I'll have to say thats one f****d up individual.

This reminds me of the teachers in Charlie Brown talking.

I don't care what drug(s) I am on. My brain will not let me gouge my eye out, it just won't. It would also prevent me from chopping off any other important parts of my anatomy... I would sacrifice a finger or toe , and one of my nuts to save my life that's about it.
