NEW YORK — A tour featuring a hologram of the late, great Whitney Houston will arrive next year.
Hologram USA and Houston’s estate announced on Friday that the hologram tour, which begins at a US venue then tour the world, is to stream live on FilmOn.com.
Houston’s sister-in-law and president of her estate said in a statement that the hologram is “a great opportunity for her fans to see a reinvention of one the most celebrated female artists in history and to continue a legacy of performances that will not be forgotten in years to come.”
The intercative show will include a selection of Houston’s greatest hits and will feature special guests.
FilmOn is a free online and live TV app. Alki David, who is the CEO of Hologram USA, also founded FilmOn.
In the statement, David said:
“I was heartbroken when Whitney passed away in 2012. The opportunity to help share her spectacular gifts with the world again is exactly what I hoped for when I built the hologram business.
“We've got technology that's causing a seismic shift in the entertainment industry, and a wonderful partnership with Pat Houston and the estate - I'm confident we'll create the ultimate celebration of Whitney's amazing artistry."
Hologram USA announced earlier this week that a Billie Holiday hologram will debut later this year at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York.
