Whitney Houston hologram tour closer to becoming a reality

The tour will feature a live band and backing singers and dancers.

Houston was first introduced as a hologram in May 2016 for a duet with Christina Aguilera on “The Voice.”


However, her family axed the performance after deciding the hologram wasn’t up to standard.

Her sister-in-law Pat Simpson said: “We are so appreciative of the opportunity for the Whitney Houston hologram to appear on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ with a talent pairing as extraordinary as Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston.


“We were looking to deliver a groundbreaking duet performance for the fans of both artists. Holograms are new technology that take time to perfect, and we believe with artists of this iconic caliber, it must be perfect. Whitney’s legacy and her devoted fans deserve perfection.’

“After closely viewing the performance, we decided the hologram was not ready to air. We have much respect and appreciation for Christina, and she was absolutely flawless.”

Meanwhile, Dionne Warwick, Houston’s cousin, has previously branded the hologram tour a “stupid” idea.

Warwick said: “I haven’t a clue as to what that is. It’s surprising to me. I don’t know what it is. I think it’s stupid, but whatever it is that’s what it is.”
