Tupac performs "live" onstage - after his death

In the 2012 Coachella Festival, the audience got to "see" Tupac, killed in 1996, "perform" live on stage, solo and in a duet with Snoop Dogg, who is still alive. 


The "live performance" was made possible thanks to an impressive 3D hologram. Their choice - not to let his image walk off stage like the rest of the performers, thus maintaining the illusion that he's still alive for a while longer, but to have his image disintegrate on stage in front of the audience - is a choice I find rattling. 

You can read more about it here, where they chose to see this as nothing less than a resurrection. 

Thank you Matan Melamed for bringing this to my attention.
