Next year, country music legend Patsy Cline will be revived as a hologram for a concert experience "which will include performance, commentary, and audience interaction," Billboard reports. Seemingly without being aware of how utterly creepy holograms are, Cline's creator, Hologram USA, said in a cheery statement that Patsy "will demonstrate how we can bring all the warmth and virtuosity of a true icon back for new audiences."

Cline died in a 1963 plane crash that also killed Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins, and Randy Hughes. She was the first woman to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame with hits including "Walking After Midnight" and "I Fall to Pieces," which she will presumably "perform" at her holo-concert.
Cline is the latest of the holo-legions Hologram USA has produced. In 2012, the company recreated Tupac Shakur in hologram-form for Coachella; Liberace and Buddy Holly holograms are forthcoming.
