The hologram tour featuring the late Amy Winehouse that was to take place later this year has been put on hold.
BASE Hologram, the company producing the show took to Twitter to announce the news. They cited some “unique challenges and sensitivities.”
The company wants to honour the “Rehab” singer in the best way possible, so they are pausing this tour to “determine the best path to a creatively spectacular production.”

Speaking to Billboard, BASE Hologram chairman and CEO Brian Becker said that “in developing this type of highly ambitious, state of the art hologram/augmented reality theatrical event we encounter some unique challenges and sensitivities that cause us to take a step back.”
They are working on a production that is “a cross between a Broadway show and a concert spectacle” adding, it “requires creative engineering and that type of creativity does not necessarily follow a schedule.”
Becker promises the tour is only on hold until they “plot out a creatively spectacular production fitting of her remarkable career.”
Winehouse’s father, Mitch, gave his blessing for the tour which will feature a hologram Winehouse with live a live band and back up singers.
A portion of the proceeds with go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation that helps prevent the misuse of drugs and alcohol in youth.
