Virtual Whitney Houston In Concert
Just because your favorite star is dead, it doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a live performance! Via hologram.
“In 2011, Whitney and I discussed her idea of an intimate, unplugged concert tour. It was a project we called Whitney Unplugged or An Evening With Whitney. While Whitney’s no longer with us, her voice and legacy will live on with us forever,” Pat Houston, the late singer’s sister-in-law and former manager/President and CEO of The Estate of Whitney E. Houston, shared in a statement. “An Evening With Whitney is another chance for us to relive and celebrate the talent that we were so lucky to receive for more than three decades and we’re excited to bring this cutting-edge musical experience to the fans who supported the pop culture phenomenon that was Whitney Houston, because they deserve nothing less.”
Star Trek : Deep Space Nine fans have been looking forward to this for more than a decade, recalling the 1999 episode "7x15 : Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang", in which a holoprogram called Vic Fontaine interacted with living human performers onstage.
