Los Angeles - Soul diva Whitney Houston's ex-husband Bobby Brown was hospitalised after having a mild heart attack, his lawyer told entertainment media on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old singer, whose career highpoint was the 1988 number one single My Prerogative, was admitted to a hospital in Tarzana, southern California on Tuesday, Phaedra Parks was quoted as saying.
Parks said the heart attack was caused by "stress and diet".
"Bobby is doing good. He is in good spirits. It's a serious condition, and I'm very concerned about him. Bobby is very happy with the outpouring of calls and messages," Parks was quoted by celebrity news website TMZ.com as saying.
"We ask people to keep him in their thoughts and prayers."
People magazine reported that Brown was expected to be released later on Wednesday. Houston and Brown, who were divorced in April, starred in a reality television show, Being Bobby Brown, in 2005.
