“An Evening With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Tour” features the hologram image of the Newark-born singer, who died in 2012, performing digitally remastered versions of her hits accompanied by a live band and backup vocalists.

Songs will include “I Will Always Love You,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “The Greatest Love of All” and “Higher Love,” the promoters said.

Houston's estate partnered in the venture with BASE Hologram, the company behind similar tours featuring the late Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly, as well as one with images and sounds of opera legend Maria Callas.

The first leg of the tour hits Great Britain (England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales), as well as the Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovakis, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and the Ukraine.

Tickets for the UK shows go on sale this Friday.

BASE accompanied Tuesday's announcement with the first image from the production, featuring a smiling, curly-haired Houston in ripped jeans and a gold jacket holding a microphone.

“Whitney is not with us, but her music will live with us forever,” Pat Houston, her former manager, said, adding that BASE has prodouced a "phenomenal" hologram.

"Her fans deserve nothing less because she gave nothing less than her best.”

BASE Hologram Chairman and CEO Brian Becker said the show "isn’t a journey through time, but more of a celebration of her best work.

"The main goal in these types of shows is to preserve the legacy of one-of-a-kind musicians and using their actual master recordings, give fans the chance to see them perform — many for the first time,” he said.
