Whitney Houston remains an LGBT+ icon nine years after her untimely death.
The acclaimed singer and actress cemented her extraordinary legacy with a career that spanned several decades and countless hits.
Whitney Houston remains one of the biggest selling music artists of all time with more than 200 million record sales, and her hits are as instantly addictive today as they were when they were first released.
She was a true trailblazer, and her legacy can be found in the countless artists who were inspired by her extraordinary, earth-shaking voice.
The world was shocked when Houston was found dead in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in California on 11 February, 2012. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 – arguably about 10 years too late – and she holds a special place in the hearts of queer fans across the world to this day.
