Tupac... Resurrection! Snoop Dogg joined on stage by late rapper as he and Dr Dre headline at Coachella



Hello Friends!


This is creativity and technology at its best and finest!


It was already one of the most highly-anticipated performances of the Coachella festival this year.

But Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre achieved the impossible last night as they brought back late rapper Tupac Shakur for their headline performance.

Snoop was joined by a life-size hologram of Tupac as the pair performed Hail Mary to a stunned crowd.

The image of a shirtless Tupac, wearing a pair of jeans and brown boots, was also seen interacting with Snoop - making it look incredibly realistic to the cheering crowd.

After performing the track Dr Dre came on stage and screamed: 'Make some f**ing noise for Tupac.'

And the hologram certainly drew some mixed reactions from those watching. While some argued that the inclusion of the late rapper's image was in bad taste, many of the celebrity fans took to their Twitter page to express their excitement over the undoubtedly dramatic performance.

Katy Perry tweeted: 'I think I might have cried when I saw Tupac.'





Like life: The life-sized projection of the rapper was spectacular and looked incredibly life-like as Snoop Dogg performed Hail Mary

Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre celebrated more than two decades performing together on stage at the music event in Palm Springs, California.

And Snoop, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr, decided to practice what he preaches and after telling fans to 'smoke weed everyday' the rapper decided to light up on stage.

The 40-year-old hitmaker was seen smoking a suspicious looking cigarette on stage in front of the packed out crowd.

Snoop was seen smoking several 'joints' throughout hour and a half set including a huge white 'cigarette' with his prodigy Khalifa.

The pair were seen singing about smoking weed while shared the large roll-up.
