Sharon Osbourne has shared her thoughts on the possibility of a Black Sabbath avatar show in a recent Metal Hammer interview.
“Sure I would, yeah,” Osbourne said about the potential ABBA-style avatar show. “Technology keeps moving on and on.”
“You can do incredible things now, so what you could do in five years will be even better,” she continued. “You never know what the opportunities are.”
This discussion emerges as Black Sabbath prepares for a significant milestone in their career.
Hit Channel revealed that the band is preparing for their final live performance, ‘Back To The Beginning,’ at Villa Park in Birmingham. The classic lineup will reunite for this farewell show, though Ozzy’s participation will be limited due to health concerns.
Hologram shows have become increasingly popular in the entertainment industry. Blabbermouth reported that ABBA’s ‘Voyage’ show launched in May 2022. The show has proven the commercial viability of this technology through consistent sold-out performances.
The technology behind virtual concerts has evolved significantly. Gambling.com noted that hologram performances have featured legendary artists like Whitney Houston and Elvis Presley. Similar projects are being considered for David Bowie and George Michael.
Pophouse Entertainment developed ABBA’s successful virtual concert experience. This technological breakthrough has inspired other iconic bands to explore similar possibilities. The innovation could offer Black Sabbath a new way to preserve their legacy while addressing live performance challenges.
