Gord Downie wasn香蕉视频直播檛 interested in ever becoming a hologram musician.

It香蕉视频直播檚 an offer his former Tragically Hip bandmates say he confronted around the time he went public with his terminal brain cancer diagnosis in 2016.

Hip guitarist Paul Langlois told The Canadian Press that one prominent hologram company, known for creating digital versions of deceased performers, approached the band wondering if the 香蕉视频直播淎head By a Century香蕉视频直播 performer might want to sign up.

香蕉视频直播淕ord was sharp enough that he was the same Gord,香蕉视频直播 Langlois said.

Hologram concerts have become increasingly popular in the music industry as the estates of Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and many others have approved digital recreations of the deceased artists.

Living Swedish pop superstars ABBA helped develop the cutting-edge concept when they set up a residency with younger versions of themselves performing for a live audience.

Downie died in October 2017, after the Hip wrapped a whirlwind final tour.

While promoting the four-part documentary 香蕉视频直播淭he Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal,香蕉视频直播 Langlois and drummer Johnny Fay said they would honour Downie香蕉视频直播檚 word on holograms if they were ever approached again.
