American vocalist and performer Whitney Houston, nicknamed "The Voice", embarked on ten concert tours between the 1980s and the 2000s, including six world tours and four territorial tours. After performing as a successful opening act for singers Jeffrey Osborne and Luther Vandross on their 1985 US amphitheatre tour, and also having sung at various North American venues and festivals, Houston embarked on her worldwide debut, The Greatest Love Tour, in 1986. For the promotion of her globally-successful album Whitney (1987), Houston embarked on The Moment of Truth World Tour, which visited North America, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia from 1987-1988. In Europe, Houston visited 12 countries for the first time, singing for over half-a-million fans; the singer performed for nine consecutive nights at Wembley Arena in London. She then followed this success with a special, sold-out Japanese tour, the Feels So Right Japan Tour (1990) and the I'm Your Baby Tonight World Tour (1991). After starring with Kevin Costner in the enormously successful film The Bodyguard (1992) and singing on its multi-platinum accompanying soundtrack, and receiving global accolades for the smash hit "I Will Always Love You"—originally written and performed by Dolly Parton—Houston went on her most ambitious world tour, at that point, The Bodyguard World Tour (1993–1994). Spanning two years, the tour took Houston throughout North America twice, as well as back to Europe and Japan, in addition to her very first shows in South America and South Africa. In 1997, she embarked on The Pacific Rim Tour, during which she performed for the first time in Thailand and Taiwan. In 1999, following the success of her first studio album in eight years, My Love Is Your Love (1998)—as well as her acclaimed duet with Mariah Carey, "When You Believe" (from The Prince of Egypt soundtrack), the same year—Houston embarked on her first world tour in five years to promote the album. The My Love Is Your Love World Tour was the highest-grossing European arena tour for that year, playing to almost half-a-million people. In 2009, Houston embarked on the Nothing but Love World Tour, her first tour in over 10 years, at the time, in support her seventh and final studio album, I Look to You (2009). Throughout her career, Houston also made appearances at various charity concerts, and had her own televised specials, such as Freedomfest: Nelson Mandela's 70th Birthday Celebration (1988), A Benefit Concert for The United Negro College Fund (1988), That's What Friends Are For AIDS Benefit Concert (1990), Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston (1991) and Classic Whitney: Live from Washington, D.C. (1997).
