Michael Jackson’s Family Condemns Holographic “Resurrection” Show
Michael Jackson’s family has expressed outrage over plans to “resurrect” the late pop icon in a holographic show. Sources close to the family revealed to RadarOnline.com that they find the concept “ghoulish” and “deeply disrespectful.”
Controversial Biopic Launch Plans
The controversy centers around the upcoming biopic Michael, which is reportedly set to debut next spring at London’s O2 Arena. The event is understood to include a holographic projection of Jackson, produced with the support of Universal Studios. The O2 was the same venue where Jackson was scheduled to launch his This Is It tour in 2009 before his death at age 50.
Concerns About Exploitation
Family insiders claim the show’s production team plans to recreate Jackson’s final performances with cutting-edge hologram technology, expecting thousands of attendees. However, relatives are appalled by what they view as a tasteless marketing move exploiting his legacy.
“Michael was a perfectionist. The idea of digitally resurrecting him for marketing purposes would have horrified him. It feels like they’re trying to profit off his death all over again,”
the source added, emphasizing that revisiting one of the most difficult moments of the artist’s life through technology feels “macabre.”
