Video: Michael Jackson’s scarily real hologram performed at the Billboard Music Awards last night

The King of Pop was brought back to life in Las Vegas...

The King of Pop was brought back to life in Las Vegas…

Gorillaz, Elvis Presley and Tupac have all performance as 3D holograms and now Michael Jackson has joined the club.

JOE is still a bit freaked out by the whole “hologram resurrection” thing but anyway, Jackson’s version performed “Slave to the Rhythm,” a song from his new posthumous album “Xscape” at the Billboard Music Awards last night.

The mad thing is that the hologram also stayed in time with a load of background dancers; as well as the lights and fire blasts that were happening all over the stage.

It’s so well done in fairness…

Xscape has gone straight to the top of the Billboard album chart, it features eight songs originally recorded between 1983 and 1999, which have been worked on by well-known producers such as Timbaland and Stargate.
