Whitney hologram, drugs & dead pop stars

WHITNEY back on stage LIVE! What?

Well, not quite. Whitney Houston, who was under the influence of cocaine when she drowned in her bathtub, is now touring as a hologram.

She appears laughing and smiling with a live band and live dancers.

 It’s a glamorous show with great songs. Everyone live apart from Whitney. The dark side of her life, her descent into drugs airbrushed.

Not easy to tell a person who is surrounded by enablers and sinking into oblivion on drugs that they’re facing the end. But try the words on Johnny Dysfunctional’s track here ‘Addiction.’

The list of performers dying drug related deaths continues unabated right to the present time.

Just a few remembered here. There’s Amy Winehouse, Dinah Washington, Syd Vicious, Keith Moon, Jimi Hendrix, Gram Parsons, John Bonham, Phil Lynott, David Ruffin, Kurt Curbain suicide while high on heroin, The Who’s John Entwistle and Dee Dee Ramone.

Hey folks, no worries. They’ll be appearing as a hologram anytime soon at a venue near you.
