After a long absence from music, Whitney Houston is staging a much-hyped career comeback with an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Houston will be Winfrey's first guest as the talk-show queen launches her 24th season on September 14.
According to her website, Oprah.com, Winfrey calls Houston's appearance "the most anticipated music interview of the decade."
The 46-year-old superstar hasn't done a major TV interview since 2002, when she addressed questions about her drug use from ABC's Diane Sawyer.
Houston is releasing her new album, I Look to You, on August 31.
She is one of the best-selling artists of all time, but her career stalled as she battled drugs and endured a troubled marriage to Bobby Brown.
