Eight years after her death, a holographic Houston will embark on a European tour that starts in England on Feb. 25 and runs through early April, with U.S. dates expected to follow. “Now is just the right time,” said Pat Hous ton, the singer’s sister-in-law, former man ager and the executor of her estate, which is producing the show in collaboration with BASE Hologram. “In the spirit of Whitney, I know we’re doing all the right things right now.” Last week, a few dozen members of the media were given a dress-rehearsal preview in Burbank, California of most of “An Eve ning With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Tour,” which features a Houston projected onto a nearly invisible scrim on a stage with real dancers and a live backing band. The concert set includes most of her big gest hits — “How Will I Know,” “Saving All My Love For You,” “I Will Always Love You,” along with some unexpected rari ties, including a cover of Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” that Houston first recorded three decades ago. While on her final European tour, she had an “unplugged” section of her show, with a stripped down band and minimal fanfare. Houston liked that so much that shortly before her death at age 48 on the eve of the 2012 Grammy Awards, she expressed a desire to one day do an entire tour that way. That concept became the model for the hologram concert. “This is something that she wanted to do,” Pat Houston said after the media preview of the show. “I get very emotional watching this, because it is so, so close to what she wanted. The only thing missing is her, physically.” Associated Press Police: Rising rap star Pop Smoke fatally shot in LA home Pop Smoke, a rising New York rapper, was fatally shot in a Los Angeles home early Wednesday, law enforcement sources confirmed. Officers responded after someone calling from the East Coast reported that several people, at least one of whom wore a black mask and was armed with a handgun, had entered their friend’s Hollywood Hills home shortly before 5 a.m., said Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Steve Lurie. When officers arrived at the $2.5 million home, they found the 20-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Bashar Barakah Jack- son, with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Officers detained several people inside the house, but they were later released. Two to six suspects fled the scene and had not been found, Lurie said. Investigators think the home where the rapper was staying was likely targeted by the assailants. The rapper was one of the most promis ing voices from the New York drill scene, a regional variant of a hard-edged, gothic sound that originated in Chicago with acts such as Chief Keef but that also won popu larity on the East Coast and in the U.K. His dense clusters of lyrics and the high-tension moods recalled an older era in New York rap, but his laconic delivery and gravelly timbre were entirely of the moment.

The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21 -April 19). None will question your abil ity to lead. The thing is that you’re not yet sure about where, why and how you want them to go. Get clear on that and the expedition will be a given. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There’s a mystery to solve, and you’ll love getting to the bottom of it. You’re equipped with all the right tools for the job, namely diplomacy and curiosity. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve a solid feel for one part of a deal, and then there are other parts in which you’re not so surefooted. With study and repetition, you will master every aspect of the interac tion. Keep at it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Remember the time reality was better than your dreams? It happens rarely, but that’s only because of the amazing breadth of your imagination. Rest assured, it will happen again. You’re due. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you can’t find what you need, what does it matter if it’s in side of you or outside of you? The point is that it’s not in your hand. There’s someone who can help you with this. Start asking around. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You think you know what enough love is, but you’re already loved so much more than that. You are loved beyond what you could measure. What will you get busy on, knowing that love is already covered? LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You’ll be dealing with people who are great in different ways. It makes no sense to value one way more than another. Assume there is merit across the board and look for ways to bring people together. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You see the problem that is standing in your way but what you might not see is that this problem is the way. Right now it looks like an obstacle instead of the grand opportu nity it really is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Being an excellent team member is a useful skill and one you should be quite proud of now. What you ac complish in the group will be more satisfying and meaning ful than what you accomplish alone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Joy is not something to guard or hoard, rather it’s something to participate in. This joy you feel is not your own. It be longs to the larger body of joy, as ocean spray belongs to the ocean. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18). It takes the same amount of energy to do a very posi tive thing as it does to do a very negative thing. People generally do the thing that is most readily available to the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because yours is a spiri tual sign doesn’t mean you’re always inclined to meditate, pray and the like. Practical action can do just as much to put you in a beautiful mindset and expand your spirit.
