RESURRECTING ELVIS PRESLEY DIGITALLY

In this current even that i read, it talked about how they would remake a digital copy of Elvis Presley for live shows and other things like online media, and TV Broadcasts. 

Elvis Presley, who died in 1977 aged 42, will be brought back in a virtual performance by Digital Domain Media Group (DDMG) - the same group who stunned nearly 90,000 fans with a life-like performing Tupac hologram at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April.

"This is a new and exciting way to bring the magic and music of Elvis Presley to life," said Jack Soden, head of the Elvis Presley Project, a division of "CORE" Media Group which signed the deal for making the hologram.

"His lifelong fans will be thrilled all over again and new audiences will discover the electric experience of Elvis the performer," Jack Soden added in a statement about the Presley Project.

The King of Rock 'n' Roll remains one of the most popular figures in music despite his death in 1977.

No word on when hologram Elvis will make its official debut. Digital Domain is linking with Core Media Group, which handles various brands, personalities and properties.
