As we are all aware, we are living in an era of technology and science discoveries which is moving at an increasingly rapid rate.

One such technology is the ‘resurrection’ of departed musicians and singers using hologram technology.

Vanity Fair reports that the latest artist to be brought back to life using the technology is legendary singer Dean Martin. The holographic version of Martin will debut in Las Vegas next year.

Hologram USA are also working on shows featuring the late Buddy Holly and Whitney Heuston.

Of course this isn’t the first time that a musician has come back to life as a hologram. Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre performed with the late Tupac Shakur at Coachella Festival in 2012, and Michael Jackson holographically appeared at the Billboard Music Awards back in 2014, five years after his passing.
