George Michael won’t be doing a hologram tour, his former song writing partner and friend David Austin says. “We were going to see if we could do a hologram idea in the middle of the Royal Albert Hall,” Austin said. “But I went around to some people who did the Tupac hologram and they were really s***.”
Speaking at a screening of documentary Freedom Uncut last night, Austin compared a Michael Jackson show in New York to a “tribute act”, and said: “The problem with holograms is people just don’t engage, 20 minutes in... people are on their phone... There won’t be a ‘HoloWham’.” An ABBA hologram concert is showing in Stratford, while a George Michael video show will tour this year. The ex-Wham! singer, left, died in 2016.
