What musicians would you see in hologram ? I thought the Gorillaz or Tupac were unique, but I dunno
about it becoming so common .
I read the Zappa one is coming this year. Zappa talked about 3D And holography in his real book Some like Belew and dweezil have not participated in planning
what do you think and who would you check up on?

Alex Muneghina has just seen a ghost and couldn't be happier. "It's great," he yells to me across the foyer of the rock venue in north London where his idol has just performed a song called Heaven and Hell. "It's like he's here."
The 54-year-old was among hundreds of heavy metal fans braving a cold winter's night to see the American singer Ronnie James Dio. Not in the flesh the former Black Sabbath and Rainbow singer died of stomach cancer in 2010 but in the form of a life-sized hologram backed by members of his band. The digitally resurrected star performed half a dozen of his best-known songs to an audience that showed its appreciation by raising a sea of devil's horns salutes.
Fans of Roy Orbison the American master of the keening ballad who died in 1988 are being reacquainted with their bespectacled hero this year when his hologram takes to the road on an international accompanied by a symphony orchestra. A Frank Zappa hologram is in the works and other dearly departed stars rumoured to be in line for digital resurrection range from Whitney Houston and Notorious B.I.G to Billie Holiday and Judy Garland
The music industry first took an interest in 2006 when Madonna used the Pepper's Ghost illusion to insert members of the cartoon band Gorillaz into her Grammy Awards performance.
Six years later, a ghostly version of Tupac Shakur the American hip-hop artist shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996 appeared on stage at the 2012 Coachella music festival. The performance was brief and the hologram somewhat rudimentary.
But when a hologram of Michael Jackson moon walked at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards it was clear the technology was no longer content to be a novelty act.
