The late Whitney Houston was honoured tonight with the EMA Global Icon Award presented by Alicia Keys. Many artists came together to remember the star with words from Nicki Minaj, One Direction, Lady Gaga and even Psy. It’s clear that the R&B Soul singer made an impression on many artists all around the world and we couldn’t think of a more deserving artist to honour with the 2012 EMA Global Icon Award. Alicia Keys accepted this award on behalf of the Houston family.

Congratulations to the late Whitney Houston and all the best to her family and friends.
