A hologram of Whitney Houston will tour the UK and Ireland this year, including a date in London.
The show, which uses “state-of-the-art” holographic technology to create a lifelike projection of the late singer, will visit the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on March 10 2020.
The UK and Ireland leg of the tour will kick off in Liverpool next week, with stops planned in 10 other cities including Birmingham, Aberdeen, Dublin, Cardiff, Manchester and Brighton.
Further concerts in Europe, Mexico and North America are also planned for the future.
A live band, back-up singers and dancers will join the hologram on stage for renditions of Houston’s greatest hits, including I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) and I Will Always Love You.
The shows will be staged by Base Hologram, the entertainment company which has also developed holograms of Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and Maria Callas.
Brian Becker, Base Hologram chairman and CEO, said: “Whitney Houston was a talent beyond words, and her influence and artistry transcended all boundaries.
“What we are creating here is a new type of theatrical concert experience designed to capture that magic.”
