“Freddie Mercury Hologram Set to Rock the Stage Again!”
FREDDIE Mercury is being lined up to Break Free again on stage — as a hologram. The company managing his back catalogue has filed a trademark for his name in 3D and virtual reality. And the move means the Queen frontman, who died 33 years ago, could be digitally recreated to perform on stage, just like the ABBA Voyage residency in East London.

Legal papers reveal that the name has been reserved for “immersive 3D virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences” as well as for “virtual environments.” Furthermore, the trademark for Mercury Songs Limited also extends to video games.

Queen bandmate Brian May, 76, shared last year, “We’ve talked about and looked at holograms of Freddie. We love to be live and dangerous, that’s it, that’s our emphasis. Now, while we’re all here, I want to play live.” The possibility of holographic concerts featuring Freddie Mercury could soon become a reality, bringing his iconic performances back to life in a whole new way.
