Base Hologram has announced a partnership with Winehouse's estate to produce a concert tour to celebrate the singer's legacy.

Base bills itself "the leading live entertainment content creator leveraging holographic film technology to produce live entertainment tours and attractions worldwide."

"Utilizing new state-of-the-art proprietary technology, the production will launch towards the end of 2019," according to a statement announcing the worldwide tour. "Featuring digitally remastered arrangements of her classics, the hologram will be backed by a live band, singers and theatrical stagecraft."

"This is a dream for us," the singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, said in a statement about the tour.

"To see her perform again is something that we really do not want to be in. Our daughter's music touched the lives of millions of people and it means everything that will continue in this innovative and groundbreaking way."

The tour was announced by Mitch Winehouse and Marty Tudor, Base Hologram chief executive officer of productions, recently at the Amy Winehouse Foundation's annual gala in London.

Amy Winehouse like you've never seen her before

The foundation is aimed at preventing the effects of drug abuse and misuse on young people, and there are plans to incorporate fundraising and awareness campaign for the organization with the worldwide tour.

It's not the first time to posthumously.

Holograms of Michael Jackson and Tupac also performed after those artists' deaths.

But not everyone is happy about Winehouse being "resurrected."

Some fans took to Twitter to express their displeasure.

"Like she has not been exploited enough ??!," One person tweeted. "Let her rest in peace and stop tarnishing her legacy."
