Freddie Mercury to appear in “We Will Rock You” musical
Written by admin on May 10, 2012 – 6:50 pm -Freddie Mercury will feature in a 10th anniversary performance of the West End musical “We Will Rock You” on May 14.
Freddie’s former bandmate, Brian May, told the BBC that the production team had been working on ways to include the late singer in the production, but that they will not be using a hologram effect. May describes the approach as “an optical illusion of sorts” and claims that “People will come out saying, ‘did we actually see Freddie?'”.
