Following Lifetime and A&E’s Janet Jackson 2-part documentary, A&E now is diving into Bobby Brown.
Brown and his family are giving an inside look into his life with two new projects coming to A&E.
First, Biography: Bobby Brown will be a two-night event starting May 30 and ending May 31, both airing at 8/7c. The two-night event will focus on Brown‘s upbringing, his time with New Edition, his high-profile marriage to Whitney Houston, and his life tragedies.
According to the show’s description:
From growing up in the housing projects of Roxbury, Massachusetts, through his rise to fame with New Edition and beyond, Bobby Brown shares his personal journey like never before in “Biography: Bobby Brown.” In exclusive interviews, the R&B icon unveils his struggles with substance abuse, his marriage to Whitney Houston, the devastating loss of Houston and his two children, and his life as a devoted father and husband to Alicia Etheredge-Brown. Confronting his very personal yet very public struggles, Brown recounts what it was like to become a music phenomenon at such a young age in this tell-all documentary. In an effort to come to terms with his tumultuous past, Bobby, for the very first time, visits the gravesite of Whitney Houston and daughter Bobbi Kristina and holds a deeply moving tribute in honor of Bobby Junior. The documentary includes interviews with Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Keith Sweat, Babyface, New Edition’s Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, and Johnny Gill, as well as his family, friends, and those who experienced this journey with him.
