AceShowbiz - In a groundbreaking development, David Bowie could soon grace the stage once more as a hologram. After ABBA's highly successful Voyage concerts, talks are reportedly underway to create a virtual reality avatar that would reprise the late music icon's illustrious career.
A source close to the project spilled, "Avatar shows are big business, and ABBA's groundbreaking show has proved there is a huge demand. Getting David on stage again in the form of a hologram would be huge."
The trademark for the endeavor has been formally registered under a classification that includes avatars, indicating that plans are well underway. The source added, "The team can forge ahead with plans."
This transformative concept, similar to ABBA Voyage, would allow fans to relive the charisma and electric showmanship that defined Bowie's performances. A custom-built venue could potentially host the concerts, which would transport attendees back in time to witness the legendary artist in his prime.
Moreover, an extensive archive of Bowie's life, work, and legacy is set to go on display to the public at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2025. Spanning six decades, the collection will provide unparalleled insights into the creative process of this cultural icon.
Stage costumes, handwritten lyrics, sheet music, and previously unseen projects will be among the highlights. Iconic ensembles such as Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane will be showcased, along with instruments owned by Bowie and collaborations with renowned photographers.
