JON O’BRIEN
Death isn’t automatically a barrier to a musician’s career longevity. Tupac has famously released more albums since he was fatally shot than he did while alive; Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley have both headed out on tour as holograms and a new Whitney hologram tour of the UK is coming soon; Eva Cassidy only became a household name years after her untimely passing.
Of course, the majority of posthumous releases are compiled from material that was left in the vaults for a reason.
