Roger Taylor has played down talk of performing with a Freddie Mercury hologram, saying the idea 'doesn't sit too well' with him.
The Queen drummer told Billboard: "I don't think I want to. It just doesn't sit too well with me. I don't want to appear with a hologram of my dear friend. It's the real one or no hologram for me.
"I think it's an amazing effect when used properly, obviously in darkness. Were somebody to use a hologram of Freddie, I would have no objection."
The music industry has been awash with rumours of which deceased artist would be next to appear onstage as a hologram after Tupac's recent performance at Coachella festival.
“He was playing this kit that had cushions in it and tape all over it. It didn’t sound like Rodge”: Queen hated Roger Taylor’s drum sound on their debut album so much that they “augmented” every beat for its reissue
“It’s his message, to let the world know how he feels about all the things that’s going on in the world”: Kool and the Gang drummer spent 20 years on a solo album but didn’t live to see its release
