EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson's Family 'Outraged and Sickened' Over Plan to 'Resurrect' Him in Huge 'Ghoulish' Arena Show

Michael Jackson's Family Outraged Over Hologram 'Resurrection'

Michael Jackson's family has strongly criticized a proposal to "resurrect" the late singer via hologram during the launch of the upcoming biopic Michael at London’s O2 Arena. Insiders reveal that relatives find the idea morbid and offensive.

"Michael was a perfectionist. The idea of digitally resurrecting him for marketing purposes would have horrified him. It feels like they're trying to profit off his death all over again," a family source told RadarOnline.com.

Controversial Plans for the O2 Arena

The holographic performance is reportedly backed by Universal Studios and planned for next spring at the same venue where Jackson was preparing for his This Is It concerts before his death in 2009. The King of Pop died at 50, just 18 days before the scheduled start of his 50 sold-out performances.

Concerns Over Exploitation

Family members describe the planned show as a "macabre publicity stunt." They believe recreating Jackson's final performances using hologram technology disrespects his memory and commercializes the most difficult chapter of his life.

"They feel as if this attempt to resurrect him, in a show focusing on one of the hardest periods of his life, is totally ghoulish," an insider added.
Summary

The Jackson family condemns the hologram project as exploitative and deeply disrespectful, fearing it commodifies Michael’s struggles and death for profit.
