AceShowbiz - Bobby Brown is gearing up to make his first public appearance since his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was hospitalized. The former husband of the late Whitney Houston reportedly will treat audience to his songs at a food festival near Los Angeles on Saturday, April 11.
After Kristina was found face down and unconscious in a bathtub at her Rosewell home on January 31, the 46-year-old celeb was always on her bedside and never left her. However, on Friday, April 10, Brown decided to fly to Los Angeles to attend the Kinfolks Soul Food Festival near the city, a source told TMZ. At the food festival, the husband of Alicia Etheredge is scheduled to perform on Saturday night together with Salt-N-Pepa, Stephanie Mills and El DeBarge. Brown will also give a cooking demonstration in one of the vendor booths.
The news has been confirmed by Brown's wife. "We'll be there. We're excited. He's good. He's in great spirits," Etheredge said when reached by phone by Daily News on Friday.
Brown was scheduled to play three shows in Australia with Treach and DJ Kay Gee of Naughty By Nature at the end of March. He however postponed the tour until May. Considering his daughter's condition, he actually wanted to postpone the tour again but the promoter disagreed and held him to his contract obligation.
A source said that it was difficult for Brown to leave his ailing daughter. However, he decided to go since he believed that his departure would change nothing. "He [Brown] knows there's not much he can do for her here," the source said. "He [Brown]'s going to think of her the whole time, but knows nothing's going to change while he's away."
