No Holographic Freddie

QUEEN: Not Gonna Happen

Don't look for Queen to tour using a hologram of the late Freddie Mercury like the late rapper Tupac Shakur's recent surprise "appearance" at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California.

Drummer Roger Taylor says, "Were somebody (else) to use a hologram of Freddie, I would have no objection... It just doesn't sit too well with me. I don't want to appear with a hologram of my dear friend. It's the real one or no hologram for me. But I think it's an amazing effect when used properly -- obviously in darkness." Queen will stick to using a live singer when they do a few dates this summer with Adam Lambert.
