Singer Whitney Houston is on her last legs after collapsing from a cocaine and alcohol binge during her world tour.

According to the National Enquirer, the drug addict star would only have five years to live.

The report in the latest edition of the tabloid said Whitney’s physical condition is so poor that her family begged her to call off her comeback tour for fear of a collapse.

Whitney’s in Japan at the moment and is due to perform in Australia next week.

Whitney, 47, a former fashion model, comes from a family of prominent soul singers, including her mother Cissy Houston, cousins Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick and godmother Aretha Franklin.

Last September, Whitney appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s chat show on TV and poured her heart out about her horror life mixing cannabis and crack cocaine.

“I didn’t think about the singing part anymore. I’d totally forgotten about that life. I had so much money by that time,” she told Oprah.

She related how she sat in silence with then-husband Bobby Brown for a week at a time while they watched TV and smoked cannabis laced with the cocaine.

Whitney said her drug-taking got out of control after she made the 1992 film The Bodyguard.

According to the UK Sun, Whitney – who has sold more than 140 million albums worldwide – said by the time she made movie The Preacher’s Wife in 1996 she was taking killer drugs every day.

Whitney and Brown split in 2006 and were divorced in 2007. Whitney has custody of their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 17.
