A hologram of Amy Winehouse is set to “perform” concerts next year, with the singer-songwriter’s family announcing that the upcoming tour will raise money and awareness for the foundation set up in her name.

A projection of Ms Winehouse, who passed away in 2011 at the age of 27, will be backed by a live band and singers, with Base Hologram, the production company behind the planned shows, describing the process as “theatrical stagecraft”.

Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, told the Guardian: "As a family, we felt ready to bring Amy’s incredible talent back to the spotlight, give her fans a chance to experience her music again and for new generations to continue to discover her.

“We experienced first-hand how these hologram shows celebrate great artists. This is a wonderful way to bring focus back to her musical legacy, as well as raising funds for the Amy Winehouse Foundation. It’s time to remind everyone that Amy was one of the great musicians and performers.”

Ms Winehouse, whose hit songs included “Stronger than Me” and “Rehab”, was the first British woman to win five Grammy awards. The hologram show is expected to last between 75 and 110 minutes. Dates and locations for the tour have not yet been announced.
