M.I.A. and Janelle Monae Will Perform as Holograms in 3D Duet

After Tupac Shakur "performed" as a hologram alongside Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at Coachella in 2012, many wondered who'd be the next dead celebrity to appear onstage.

Turns out, you don't have to be dead: British rapper M.I.A. and singer Janelle Monae, who will both perform private solo concerts Thursday in different cities before teaming up at the end of their shows as life-sized 3D projections. M.I.A. will be in Los Angeles, while a live-action hologram of Monae in New York City will be beamed back to L.A. — and vice-versa.
