Holograms of deceased Doors frontman Jim Morrison and rock icon Jimi Hendrix are currently being developed.
The use of holograms in live performance has been a big talking point ever since Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg brought the hologram of Tupac onstage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, with the likes of Elvis Pressley, Marvin Gaye and even Justin Bieber discussed as popstars who could be in line to become holograms.
The technology company behind Tupac Shakur's hologram have confirmed Elvis Presley is to be resurrected in a similar manner.
After engineering the late rapper at this year's Coachella Music Festival, Digital Domain Media has teamed up with Core Media Group, the company that owns the licence rights to Presley, to digitally resurrect the late King of Rock 'n' Roll, reports Vanity Fair.
He is expected to appear on film, television and apparently concerts as an option as well.
A lot of good things this week, and I should quickly mention that the new Uncut is now in the shops (in the UK at least). This link here has all the details of the issue contents, plus there’s a piece/interview by me about Bill Fay’s impending comeback.
Donna Summer, who was best known for a string of hit singles including "I Feel Love" and "Hot Stuff", died today aged 63.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, she released seventeen studio albums during a career which lasted over 30 years. Reports claim that she had been working on a new LP shortly before she passed away in Florida following a lengthy battle with cancer.
Things aren’t due to kick off for a couple of hours at the Pavilion Theatre where throughout this year’s Great Escape Festival Uncut is hosting a splendid line-up. So early Thursday evening I’m at the Dome, where Australian psyche rockers POND are making enough noise to wake the long-time dead.
