[edit] History
Houston embarked on the world tour to support the four-times platinum selling album of the same name. After a successful seried of concerts in Japan during March of 1991, Houston returned to the United States to prepare for the world tour. Houston kicked things off with her "Welcome Home Heroes Concert" on March 31 in Norfolk Virgina. The special, which aired on HBO, was dedicated to the troops who were fighting in the Gulf War. All proceeds went to the Red Cross. Many dates had to be rescheduled in the United States and in Europe due to the Gulf War. When Houston reached the United Kingdom, she played 10 consecutive dates at Wembley Arena in London, this surpassed her own record of 7 straight dates at the same arena during the Moment of Truth World Tour in 1988.
