Dionne Warwick has cancelled a Pennsylvania concert in the wake of her cousin Whitney Houston's death.
The singer was to perform a special Valentine's Day show tonight (February 14) in Greensburg, PA at The Palace Theater, but she has backed out of the gig in order to mourn for Houston.
Warwick's Palace Theater show will now take place on March 2.
Houston was found dead on Saturday (February 11) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
It was reported on Tuesday (February 14) that Houston's family is considering having a public memorial for the star on Friday (February 17) at New Jersey's Newark Prudential Centre.
Houston's ex-husband Bobby Brown has apparently pulled out of concert dates with New Edition so he can comfort the couple's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, who has been hospitalised twice in the wake of her mother's death.
