First Tupac Shakur did it at Coachella, as the brainchild of Dr. Dre, and now Freddie Mercury is following suit. The deceased Mercury will reunite with Queen in hologram form for a 10th anniversary musical of "We Will Rock You" on Monday.

Queen guitarist Brian May told BBC that Mercury will reappear onstage in London at the Dominion Theater. "People will come out saying, 'did we actually see Freddie?'" May said of the hologram.

According to May, Mercury's appearance was scheduled to happen before Tupac's. "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."

Robert De Niro will also reportedly be in attendance at the event, reports International Business Times. "There is a certain person who's coming that's intimately associated with getting the production on in the first place — our friend Bob from Los Angeles," May told BBC.
