| Michael Jackson's hologram performance at the Billboard Music Awards |
The late King of Pop, who was resurrected onstage at the Billboard Music Awards on 18 May, thanks to advanced technology, could wow fans across the globe again five years after his death.
The producers behind the special effects extravaganza want to take their show on the road for a two-year tour and are predicted to make half a billion
dollars.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's only a matter of time before a hologram like this goes on tour. Public appetite for Michael Jackson's music has never been greater and this is a unique way of experiencing his magic."
The hologram performance at the Billboard Music Awards follows the success of a new posthumous Michael Jackson album, Xscape, which recently topped the charts in the UK.
John Branca, the executor of the singer's estate, added: "It's so important to experience Michael Jackson in a live setting. We wanted a live performance in front of a live audience."
It took four months to put together the lavish special effects show, which saw Jackson's hologram gyrate and moonwalk on stage to new song 'Slave to the Rhythm'.
The late singer's choreographers, Rich and Tone Talauega, were behind the dance moves.
