Las Vegas used to be where stars went when their pop-cultural life was over, a twilight dwindle of half-lives as an embalmed cabaret turn rote-motioning through the old favorites.
But now it is becoming the home of the literally dead and gone
Viz, (via NME), the news of Whitney's post-mortem residency at a Vegas venue:
"An Evening With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Concert, created by BASE Hologram in partnership with the Houston estate, debuted in 2020 and was set to open in Vegas late last year until the coronavirus pandemic forced a delay.
"The show will feature holograms from all stages of Houston’s career alongside backup singers, dancers and musicians.
"The Vegas residency will begin on October 26 at the Harrah’s Showroom and will run until April 30, 2022."
