Amy Winehouse Hologram Expected To 'Tour' With A Backing Band

A hologram depicting Amy Winehouse, the British singer whose music, addictions and premature death dominated headlines, is expected to embark on a tour, according to Reuters.

Her father, Mitch Winehouse, told the news agency that the singer's hologram will be projected on stage along with her voice and a live band.

The tour, set for next year, is part of a trend in recent years of concerts featuring projected likenesses of deceased artists. BASE Hologram, the company producing the Winehouse concerts, has also produced hologram tours of Roy Orbison and opera singer Maria Callas.

However, unlike the Orbison and Callas holograms, which stand square in front of a microphone throughout the show, Winehouse's father wants to be sure that BASE Hologram accurately recreates his daughter's performances, which feature more dancing and movement, Reuters says.
