14 DAY TRIAL // In October last year, Whitney Houston announced five dates in the UK in support of her latest album, “I Look to You,” also known as her comeback material. Back then, she also said she would not rule out the possibility of doing an international tour as well – and fans who’ve waited patiently until now should be happy to hear that Whitney has kept her word, as RapUp can confirm.
Just the other day, the singer announced she would be taking her show on the road starting this February, with a tour named Nothing but Love, in support of the album released last year. This is, as true fans must know, not only a wonderful occasion to catch the legendary Houston live, but also her first tour since 1999. Because of this, but also because we’re talking here of one of the most famous voices of our times, it’s understandable why hype for the upcoming series of concerts is already building up, and it’s doing so fast.
“The pop diva will mark 25 years in the business by launching a world tour in support of her latest album ‘I Look to You.’ The Nothing but Love’ world tour, her first since 1999’s My Love Is Your Love outing, commences on February 6 in Seoul, South Korea, and travels through Japan, Australia, and Europe, currently scheduled to wrap June 10 in Helsinki, Finland,” RapUp says of the international tour, shortly after the dates were made public.
“Houston’s seventh studio album ‘I Look to You’ topped the charts worldwide when it was released last year and spawned the singles Million Dollar Bill and the title track,” the same publication goes on to say. And that’s not all the good news for today either: “On January 26, Arista Records/Legacy Recordings will issue ‘Whitney Houston: The Deluxe Anniversary Edition.’ The CD/DVD package includes a remastered version of her debut album, along with five bonus tracks,” RapUp further informs.
No word yet on the availability of tickets or whether fans in the US will also get some dates anytime soon. For more on this, keep an eye on this space and check out the full itinerary for Nothing but Love below:
