Whitney Houston's Estate announce the late singer will be going on tour!

Whitney Houston may no longer be with us, but fans could soon have the chance to see her perform on stage once again ...

In the form of a hologram.

Houston's estate announced today that the iconic singer - who passed away in 2012, aged 48 - will tour as a hologram with her original band and back-up singers, including her brother Gary Houston.

The tour will reportedly include fan favourites, such as 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)' and 'The Greatest Love of All'.

The estate also announced that a posthumous new album - presumably featuring unused tracks from her 1985 self-titled debut - is in the works.

The late pop superstar's former manager and sister-in-law Pat Houston, the executor of Whitney Houston's estate, told the New York Times newspaper: "Before she passed, there was so much negativity around the name; it wasn't about the music anymore.

"People had forgotten how great she was. They let all the personal things about her life outweigh why they fell in love with her in the first place."

Pat added: "The hologram has taken precedence over everything."

Whitney isn't the only superstar to be immortalised in hologram form and it was announced last year that the estate of the late Amy Winehouse - who passed away aged 27 in 2011 - has teamed up with the BASE Hologram company to create a virtual likeness of the star, which will go out on the road with a live band and backing singers to perform "digitally remastered" versions of her classic hits.
