I'm sure this will be strange to a lot of people including myself, but I like that they're doing this. Very interesting. I've never listened to hide's music, but I'd be interested in hearing this when it's done.

I think we are entering an era where it may be impossible for a performer to truly be lost when they pass away. I too would be interested to hear this performance once it is released.

Kind of creepy, but if its what his brother (and presumably, the rest of his family) want, and they're not just doing this because of fan demand or as a cash grab, then I guess it's okay.

Performers today should seriously consider what they want when it comes to how their image and voice will be used after their death. Will new songs be okay, but holograph concerts not? What about being mashed into commercials? There is so much they can do nowadays, and it should be important to everyone involved to know what the celebrity wanted.

Or more pessimistically for that matter the performer not being needed in the first place.
