"Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed that Freddie Mercury will "appear" on stage during a special performance of West End musical We Will Rock You.
He told the BBC that the production team had been working on ways to give the late singer a presence during its 10th anniversary show for some time.
May stressed the new "effect" was not a hologram, calling it "an optical illusion of sorts".
"People will come out saying, 'did we actually see Freddie?'" he added.
The guitarist hinted the musical might employ a similar technique to the one used to make the late rapper Tupac Shakur perform on stage at the Coachella music festival last month.
"It's a little unfortunate they did that thing with Tupac as we've been trying to make Freddie appear on the stage for quite a while," he said.
"[That technique] is something we've looked at ourselves but I think probably for a show that runs eight shows a week it's not really quite practical." ......."

oops - Richard already posted about that. I missed it :-)
The whole evening is going to be a belter - 10th year anniversary gala performance with celebs galore, rock n' roll party dress code, after show party with band and maybe Freddie appearing - what could be better?
See you on Monday, come up and say Hello Barb.

Not sure if we ordinary fans are invited to the "aftershow party with band", Gary. I definitely want to meet you again, we can arrange something in a private conversation.
Invite only I'm afraid, but sure will see you at some point.
All hilariously on point sarcasm aside... If FM's instructions to Jim Beach are accurate...then at least "his beloved....(Laughs) musical" will be fine.
I can only hope Brian will become a hologram soon - you can turn a hologram off without anyone complaining.
any news pics then
