Tupac's Hologram To Tour With Dre & Snoop?

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are reportedly planning to take the hologram of Tupac, which took to the stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on the 15th of April, out on tour.


The lifelike hologram appeared during the rappers' joint headline set at the California festival, which also saw guest performances from Eminem, 50 Cent and Warren G. After its success, reports earlier today suggest that the pair want to take the recreation out on the road.


Plans under discussion reportedly include a tour in stadiums alongside Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa, and a smaller, more limited tour, featuring only Dre, Snoop Dogg and the virtual Tupac.


Created by a U.S. company called Digital Domain, Ed Ulbrich, the chief creative officer described the hologram as:


"The most complicated thing that can be done. To create a completely synthetic human being is the most complicated thing that can be done. This is not found footage. This is not archival footage. This is an illusion. This is just the beginning. Dre has a massive vision for this."
