At Coachella 2012, in the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre performance, Tupac was resurrected and performed 1 or 2 songs together with the hip hop legends. Now, it is rumored that Freddie Mercury will return with Queen as an optical illusion during a performance of "We Will Rock You" in London on May 14. Brian May - the band's guitar strummer - said that Mercury may not return as a hologram, but nevertheless his spirit will be with the performance.
So that got me thinking: what would the coolest singers to resurrect from the dead as a hologram and perform live either solo or with their remaining band members (apart from Tupac and Freddie Mercury, obviously)?
Number 5 - Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley with his gyrating hips and his soulful ways would definitely be a blast from history considering the generation that was obsessed with him is still around. Also he is a good enough known name that he can resonate with the younger generations.
Number 4 - Kurt Cobain
Definitely dying before his time, a Nirvana reunion with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic would definitely fill stadiums. This one would be moderately bizarre just because Kurt died about 20 years ago as opposed to plenty of the people on this list. Who knows - Courtney Love may try and get her hands on this one and thwart it too.
Number 3 - Jim Morrison
Jim Morrison was the famous Doors face - most individuals can't even name the other members of the band. Imagine going to a concert and seeing Jim Morrison performing? Imagine singing "Light My Fire" live with Jim.
Number 2 - Michael Jackson
Even though good ol ' Jacko hasn't even been dead for 10 years, bringing him back via hologram would definitely be something worth seeing. Michael was still a very popular and successful artist when he passed, and he has enough classic hits to keep an audience entertained and ecstatic for a while. That famous moonwalk across the stage would nearly seem real.
Number 1 - John Lennon and George Harrison
With Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr still alive, a Beatles reunion with a hologram Lennon and Harrison would be incredibly entertaining and iconic. I've seen Paul McCartney live, and that man still has it - he played a 3 hour set! It'd be an extraordinary concert, and something you can tell your youngsters about. Nearly as good as the genuine thing...
