After years away from the spotlight Whitney looked back to her best as she arrived in London Whitney gets a hug from Top Shop billionaire Sir Phillip Green Whitney thrilled the VIP guests A ravaged Whitney in 2006 In 1992, at the height of her career, Whitney starred in The Bodyguard For much of this decade Whitney Houston has been out of the spotlight, fighting to get her once charmed life back under control. But as she arrived in Britain last night it seemed the tide had finally turned for the soul singer. Gone was the gaunt and ravaged figure of recent years, replaced by a polished professional as she launched her new album at the upmarket Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London's Knightsbridge. The 45-year-old arrived in a black belted mac which she removed once inside to reveal a flattering black and white dress. The crowd, including Top Shop billionaire Sir Phillip Green, gave Whitney a standing ovation as she unveiled the much-anticipated I Look To You. The record is her first studio performance for seven years. Tracks have already been leaked on the internet, where they have met with a mixed response - some saying her voice has been ruined.
