Freddie Mercury Returning In Hologram Form?: First it was ABBA, then KISS… holograms seem to be all the rage in rock lately. Mercury Songs Limited, which owns Freddie Mercury’s music catalog, has filed for a 3D and virtual reality trademark on the late singer’s behalf. This means we could get an avatar-version of the rocker, who died in 1991, sometime in the future. But bandmate Sir Brian May recently confirmed the band has no interest in being fully virtual. “We love to be live and dangerous,” the guitarist insisted. “While we’re here, I want to play live.”
