Whitney Houston’s fans will always love her — and now, seven years after her tragic death, they’ll have a chance to see her in concert once again.
Anew hologram tourthat’ll feature a digitized version of the late diva belting her chart-topping hits will hit the road in 2020, first overseas and then later across North America.
“Whitney was a musical trail-blazer and I’m extremely honored to have this opportunity to help craft this show in her honor,” Robinson said in a statement.

The tour has full support from Houston’s sister-in-law and estate executor Pat Houston, who praised the show as an “authentic Whitney experience” in a statement.
“A hologram show is all about the imagination and creating a ‘wow factor’ that extends to an incredible experience to enjoy for years to come,” she said. “Whitney is not with us but her music will live with us forever.”
“An Evening with Whitney” will kick off on Jan. 23 in Mexico, then stretch through April across 14 different European countries, including the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and Russia.

Dates for North America in the fall of 2020 have not yet been announced.
“We wanted fans coming to see this to experience a version of Whitney that they were familiar with and one that would remind them of why she was the quintessential musician and performer,” BASE Chairman and CEO Brian Becker said in a statement. “Our hope is that audiences will feel like they are being drawn into an experience where fantasy becomes reality and the mind suspends disbelief…because amazing things happen when you believe.”
Houston died in 2012 at the age of 48.
