Holograms of deceased Doors frontman Jim Morrison and rock icon Jimi Hendrix are currently being developed.
The use of holograms in live performance has been a big talking point ever since Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg brought the hologram of Tupac onstage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, with the likes of Elvis Pressley, Marvin Gaye and even Justin Bieber discussed as popstars who could be in line to become holograms.
The Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown called the band's drummer Reni a "c**t" onstage in Amsterdam at tonight's (June 12) gig at the Heineken Music Hall.

It was anticipated that the band would play an encore of "I Am The Resurrection" - which they had played at both their shows in Barcelona last week.
