Elton John’s huge sign that he will never return to the stage revealed

An insider said of the hologram project: “This is not being developed as a conventional Las Vegas residency where Elton appears on stage night after night.

“Instead, audiences will experience incredibly lifelike digital performances from Elton, Dua Lipa and Kiki Dee, created using technology that has advanced dramatically since ABBA Voyage opened in London. The ambition is to deliver something even more immersive and visually spectacular.

“Hard Rock was determined to secure Elton for the venue’s launch and secured a seven-figure deal to make this happen. Everyone involved sees this as the next evolution of live entertainment and not just a new residency.”

The source noted: “The production is designed to surround fans with music, visuals and cutting-edge effects in a way that was simply not possible before. It is expected to be one of the most impressive shows Las Vegas has ever staged.”

The concept follows the success of ABBA tripwhich launched in London in 2022 and features digital versions of the Swedish pop group’s members performing with their original vocals using advanced motion-capture technology.

The production has attracted millions of visitors and has become one of the capital’s biggest entertainment attractions.
