Whitney Houston to launch comeback on X-Factor
Whitney Houston is to make a guest appearance on this series of the X-Factor. She will perform during the live Saturday night show on October 18th to coincide with the release of her brand new album in the U.K the following day.
The X-Factor appearance will be Whitney’s first UK TV performance in over 12 years. The singing sensation has been out of the limelight in recent years whilst she battled a serious drug addiction and went through a difficult divorce from Bobby Brown. Now the Bodyguard star has drawn a line under this turbulent chapter of her life and is looking forward to her big UK comeback on the hit ITV1 Show saying: “”It should be a fun night. I am a fan of Simon Cowell‘s and look forward to meeting him.”
Whitney is one of the biggest female recording artists of all time having sold 134 million records worldwide during her impressive career. Her latest album, I Look To You, has already been released in the US to great success, grabbing the number one spot in the album charts and selling 305,000 copies so far.
The big stars keep on coming for the X-Factor with ex-Take That star Robbie Williams already gearing up for his performance on the first live show of the series this Saturday. This year’s contestants have already been raving about their encounter with the Robster after they were treated to a singing lesson with the man himself earlier this week.
