Bobby Brown was spotted leaving the funeral of Whitney Houston mere moments before it began today (February 18).
The singer, who was married to Houston from 1993 to 2007, apparently walked out of the New Hope Baptist Church in New Jersey as mourners gathered to pay their respects.
According to New Jersey.com, Brown apparently exited with his nine-strong entourage after they were asked to leave the building. Brown himself was not asked to leave.
He was pictured looking visibly upset as he left the church and climbed into a a black Cadillac SUV.
Sources say that Brown had asked for his entourage to join him in the family section.
Brown is expected to perform with New Edition in Connecticut tonight. He also took to the stage hours after Houston's death at the age of 48 last Saturday (February 11).
Kevin Costner, Tyler Perry and Clive Davis have spoken at today's service, while Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder performed musical tributes.
