Mick Jagger offers an opinion on ABBA's "Voyage" concert.
In a recent interview, the Rolling Stones frontman stated that the Swedish band provides several options for experienced artists.
He hasn't thought about whether he and his band, who have been travelling for 60 years, may have a digital holographic show in the future, but he is interested by the "technological advance."
In an interview with Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music Hits, the "Start Me Up" rocker revealed that giving a one-line explanation would be ridiculous because he hasn't even thought about it.
"The ABBA thing offers you this type of technical breakthrough that I haven't seen yet," he said.
The 78-year-old music giant stated that he was scheduled to attend one of ABBA's "Voyage" performances, but "there was a train strike, so I didn't get to go."
Jagger also stated that technology would ultimately provide solutions to these questions, and that he hopes that technology will become even more intensive and accessible for everyone to adapt to.
"We're already in an AI world where this stuff is done, and you can do a lot of musical stuff with not very difficult computerization."
In May, ABBA debuted "ABBA Voyage," a magnificent holographic concert featuring their "Abba-tars," or holograms, inside a purpose-built 3,000-capacity venue in London.
The 90-minute event combines pre-recorded versions of old songs with contemporary number-one singles such as "Don't Shut Me Down."
ABBA's farewell concert took place more than 41 years ago. Even though the group, which included Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, has already left this world, the latest high-tech show continues.
The event, which has been in the works for five years, features 3D digital representations of the group's younger selves singing and dancing to 20 of their classic songs.
During the event, they are accompanied by a live band of ten musicians and a sophisticated light show.
ABBA has also lately hinted that they want to utilize their concert holograms for even more interesting purposes in the future.
"If you are an ABBA fan who has loyally remained with us for many years, we hope that you will view the Abba-tars as agents in the new plot, which may lead to exciting new things in the future," they said in a statement.
