I loved it when Natalie Cole integrated film of her father to perform "with him" years ago on her unforgettable album and concert. But that didn't create something that TOTALLY never happened, but only incorporated Nat King Cole's original performance. Then we had Fred Astaire clips being manipulated in a Dust Devil commercial--cute, manipulative, but still using the original man's performances.
But now with the holograms and other technology--none of these performers (Tupac, Mercury, and undoubtedly others to come) could ever imagine their images being used this way. It doesn't seem right to me that long after death, they could be used in this way.
I loved Freddy Mercury, btw. Hopefully, since it is involving his own bandmates, it will be done in an appropriate manner.
