Legendary rock star lined up for stage return as a HOLOGRAM 33 years after his death

FREDDIE Mercury is being lined up to Break Free again on stage — as a hologram.

The company which manages his back catalogue has filed a trademark for his name in 3D and virtual reality.

The move means the Queen frontman, who died 33 years ago, could be digitally recreated to perform on stage, like the ABBA Voyage residency in East London.

Legal papers show the name has been reserved for “immersive 3D virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences” and for “virtual environments”.

The trademark for Mercury Songs Limited also covers video games.

Bohemian Rhapsody star Freddie died in London in 1991 aged 45.

Speaking last year, Queen bandmate Brian May, 76, said: “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, when we’re all gone, yeah sure, make an ABBA thing about us, but while we’re here I want to play live.”
