Volcano Can’t Stop Diva
It seems nothing can stop Whitney Houston from a performance … not even a volcano eruption! The singer is currently on the European leg of her tour and was due for a show in Dublin this weekend.
Due to the ash clouds created by the eruption of the Iceland volcano Eyjafjallajokull, her flight from Birmingham, U.K., was canceled. The resourceful singer and her gang apparently hopped over the Irish Sea via ferryboat and made the performance in time.
