Jackson 5 could potentially reunite for another tour, even though the lead singer, Michael, is dead?
The remaining members of Jackson 5, Jermaine, Jackie, Tito, and Marion, will officially be starting a 27-city tour that starts in Louisville. It will be the first tour the band has made since the Victory Tour in 1984.
In an E! Online article, Jackie said, “”I just wish Michael was here with us, but I’m sure his spirit will be in the house.”
This might be possible. Jackie said they are planning on an even bigger tour for next year after their latest album is released in which a hologram of Michael could be incorporated, which would take the tour to the next level.
Holograms have been used in previous concerts such as with Tupac last Sunday at Coachella. His performance with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre was 100 percent original, which means they did not use any video from previous performances.
In 2009, Celine Dion performed “If I Can Dream” with a hologram of Elvis Presley on American Idol. Even though this duo did not receive the same buzz that Tupac’s performance did, holograms have been around and could possibly start becoming more popular.
Holographic concerts now have the ability to create a life after death for musicians. As the 1950s actor, James Deans said, “if a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he’s dead, then maybe he was a great man.”
