Are You Here For This? Whitney Houston’s Estate Announces New Hologram Concert In Las Vegas
Following the Whitney Houston hologram tour that swept Europe last year, fans will get to experience that again but this time with a Las Vegas residency, the late singer’s estate announced Thursday.
Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law and CEO of her estate said in a statement, “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. 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,” Entertainment Weekly quotes.
The event will be billed as An Evening With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Concert. The residency, beginning Oct. 26, will feature a holographic recreation of Houston “performing” alongside a live band, backup singers, and dancers, accompanied by “cinematic special effects,” according to a press release. The concert will include such classic hits as “I Will Always Love You,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” and “The Greatest Love of All,” among others.
As Variety reports, tickets for “An Evening With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Concert” will go on sale Friday, July 23 at 10 a.m. PT via TicketMaster.
