Cissy Houston to pen a revealing memoir on her daughter Whitney

Publishing house HarperCollins has revealed that Cissy Houston is writing an exclusive memoir on the life of her late daughter, Whitney.

The vocal sensation tragically passed away back in February and her mother will now pour her memories on to the pages of a special book to honour her incredible life.

Cissy issued a statement on the exciting news and explained that it will be something that Houston fans can treasure: "When I lost my daughter Nippy [Whitney Houston's nickname], the world lost one of the most beautiful voices and an extraordinarily beautiful and charitable woman."

"In sharing our story in this book, I hope to give her fans something to treasure, the way we all treasured Whitney... I hope reading this book will provide a deeper understanding into my daughter's true story."

Last month, it was announced that the 'I Will Always Love You' hitmaker's family had signed up to take part in a reality television series that will "bravely reveal their lives as they bond together to heal, love, and grow".
