Elton John is embracing technology in a manner reminiscent of artists like KISS, ABBA and others. It’s being reported that the legend, who embarked on a farewell tour three years ago, will return to the stage in hologram form.
He has reportedly signed a multi-million dollar deal for an immersive hologram residency at the new Hard Rock Hotel, scheduled to open next year. “The Star” also reports that John’s former collaborators Kiki Dee and Dua Lipa will take part in the residency, filming their respective parts this fall. The news flies directly in the face previous statements Elton has said about holographic performances.
“I said to Zachary, my eldest, ‘When Daddy dies, promise me there won’t be a hologram going around the world doing concerts,'” John said during a 2018 press conference announcing his farewell tour. “It’s like doing a duet album with someone who’s dead, it’s so spooky. Who knows? They may go broke and then put me back on the [ ] stage, but I think that’s a bit freaky.”
