IN THE SPIRIT OF WHITNEY: HOUSTON HOLOGRAM TOUR SET TO BEGIN


Whitney Houston is about to appear on the
concert stage again.
Eight years after her death, a holographic
Houston will embark on a European tour that
starts in England on Feb. 25 and runs through
early April, with U.S. dates expected to follow.
“Now is just the right time,” said Pat Houston, the
singer’s sister-in-law, former manager and the
executor of her estate, which is producing the
show in collaboration with BASE Hologram. “In
the spirit of Whitney, I know we’re doing all the
right things right now.”
Last week, a few dozen members of the media
were given a dress-rehearsal preview in Burbank,
California of most of “An Evening With Whitney:
The Whitney Houston Hologram Tour,” which
features a Houston projected onto a nearly
invisible scrim on a stage with real dancers and a
live backing band.
