Bobby Brown ‘needs to cancel tour to be with daughter’

Bobby Brown's friends are reportedly advising him to cancel the remainder of his New Edition tour to be with his daughter Bobbi Kristina.

Her mother, Whitney Houston, was laid to rest on Sunday in New Jersey just over a week after she was found dead in the bathroom of the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.

Bobby has continued to perform since then but after Bobbi Kristina disappeared for a few hours on Saturday night with fears that she was doing drugs, loved ones close to the situation believe he needs to get more involved in her life.

The My Prerogative star walked out of Whitney's funeral on Saturday after he said he was asked to move three times. But there has been a lot of bad blood between Bobby and the Houston family for a while.

"[Everyone needs to] come together to help Bobbi Kristina," a family friend told RadarOnline.

"She is clearly in trouble, and she doesn't need to be put in the middle of her father and her mom's side of the family.

"Whitney wouldn't want that. Bobby needs to drop out of the New Edition tour to be with his daughter.

"Even though there is a break in the tour right now, until March 29, when it resumes, his first priority needs to be his daughter, and keeping her safe.

"Yes, Bobbi Kristina is eighteen years old, but she is clearly crying out for attention, and Whitney's family is terrified they could be planning Bobbi Kristina's funeral next."

Bobby, Whitney and Bobbi Kristina had all gone out for dinner together a short time before the singer's death where they discussed the teen entering showbiz.

"They were so excited about Krissy's (their nickname for her) future," the source added." Krissy loved being with her parents who had made peace with each other in recent years. Whitney and Bobby genuinely got along, and wished each other well."

"Bobby Brown needs to physically go and get his daughter and take her to a remote location and let her mourn the loss of her mother away from prying eyes. Line up some mental health professionals, but Bobby needs to do it. The problem is that Bobby is fearful of making more headlines, or upsetting Whitney's family, but this is his daughter."

Bobbi Kristina reportedly spent time in a rehab facility early last year, but representatives have declined to confirm the stay.

Whitney fought a long battle with drugs but her cause of death won't be known until toxicology tests come back.
