UK gets first taste as Whitney Houston’s hologram tour roars into action this month
Eight years after her death, Whitney
Houston is about to appear on the concert stage again.
A holographic version of the powerhouse singer will embark on a tour that begins in England next Tuesday (Feb. 25); the hologram’s journey through Europe will continue into early April, with US dates expected to follow.
The late singer’s sister-in-law, former
manager and executor of her estate Pat Houston said the tour is happening at “just
the right time”.
“In the spirit of Whitney, I know we’re
doing all the right things right now,” she argued.
Whitney Houston’s estate is producing the
show in collaboration with BASE Hologram.
A select few media houses were afforded a
taste of what’s to come, with a dress-rehearsal preview in Burbank, California
last week.
Dubbed “An Evening With Whitney: The
Whitney Houston Hologram Tour”, the experience reportedly features the I Look To
You songbird projected onto a nearly invisible scrim on a stage with real
dancers and a live backing band.
