Now the South African singer - who has had chart-topping success in her own right as a solo artist and session singer - is back in the UK taking The Greatest Love Of All: The Whitney Houston Show on a 25-date tour, which comes to Blackpool’s Grand Theatre on Saturday, November 3.

A spokesman said: “All the media attention in the UK led to an invitation to appear on stage at Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theatre - where Whitney recorded the video for The Greatest Love of All - before its famously critical audience.

“It was an intense and nerve-wracking occasion but her rendition of Whitney’s I Will Always Love You received a standing ovation from one of New York’s harshest audiences, and Davids now counts the experience as one of her career highlights.

“The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show is a live concert featuring the breathtaking vocal talent of Davids with a fun, heartfelt and uplifting homage to Whitney Houston.

“Accompanied by a live band and dancers, Davids performs over two hours of Houston’s most loved pop hits live on stage.

“And there is no person better equipped to do so - critics have been blown away with her ‘jaw-droppingly similar’ voice to the pop diva.

“The show includes 20 of Houston’s most popular tracks from the full span of her career, including I Will Always Love You, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and I’m Every Woman, combined with replica costuming and full-scale lighting and effects to produce a spectacular concert experience that honours Houston’s memory and celebrates her musical legacy.

“The show is a must-see for diehard Whitney fans and anyone who wants to a night with the queen of pop herself.”
