"Following the success of the Tupac 3D hologram that popped up in April at the at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California, it seems like other deceased musicians may be hitting the stage in the near future.\nAccording to a BBC report, late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury is expected to make an appearance on stage with the band during an upcoming performance of \"We Will Rock You\" in London on May 14. Queen's guitarist Brian May said that Mercury may appear as \"an optical illusion of sorts\" and not as a hologram.\n\"People will come out saying, 'did we actually see Freddie?'\" May told the BBC.\nThe projection is also said to be tour ready.\n\nSEE ALSO: Holographic Tupac May Be Coming to a Concert Near You\nThe trend has been helped along by late rapper Tupac Shakur who appeared in 3D holographic form during a performance with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre last month. Many tweeted their reactions to the event and made the YouTube clip go viral in just 24 hours. \nIt's also been reported that virtual Tupac could team up with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre later this year and hit the road. Those associated with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are expected to discuss the potential concept soon. Besides a tour with the two rappers and holo-Tupac, there is also a possibility of involving other large-scale performers from Eminen to 50 Cent at stadium shows.\nDo you like the trend of late artists showing up on stage during new performances?
