Selena to be resurrected as hologram for 2018 tour.


Daily Mail, Apr. 8, 2015

Slain pop star Selena Quintanilla-Pérez will be resurrected as a hologram for an ambitious 2018 tour dubbed Selena The One.

A company called Acrovirt will create a 'walking, talking, singing, and dancing digital embodiment' of the Grammy winner, who was gunned down at 23.

'By no means is this something that's creepy or weird,' the late queen of Tejano music's sister Suzette Quintanilla told Billboard on Wednesday.

'It's not about replacing Selena in any shape, way or form; it's just something to help her legacy continue growing.

'It's so interesting and mind-blowing that we just felt as a family that this is definitely something we'd want them to do with Selena.'

Fans can contribute to the $500K Indiegogo campaign launching on April 16, which would have been the Dreaming of You hitmaker's 44th birthday.

The thing about it is that Mr. Quintanilla said in a conference that wasn't going to be a hologram, but rather a very sophisticated round of technology where Selena will be the very first artists they do this for.

That would be super cool. Nothing can ever replace the real Selena, but I think it would be something great to see.

Can't wait!!!

Unfortunately, they were unable to meet the $500k goal, only raising $11,643 USD. Instead, they're just having a tour in honor of her memory without the hologram in Corpus Christi, Texas around April of 2018:
