Devastated by Whitney Houston’s death, Tony Bennett called for the legalization of drugs before performing a song in her honor at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammys bash.

The crooner’s point appeared to be that Houston – whose cause of death has not been determined – was only the latest casualty of drug policy that forces people to take risks.

“First it was Michael Jackson, then Amy Winehouse, now the magnificent Whitney Houston,” said the legendary singer on stage. “I’d like every person in this room to campaign to legalize drugs.”
