We've already heard about forthcoming hologram tours by the late Tupac Shakur, the late Whitney Houston and the late Michael Jackson - and now the latest to join the fray is rapper The Notorious B.I.G.

Christopher Wallace or Biggie Smalls, as he was known, died at the age of 24 in 1997 after being shot in a drive-by. No one has ever been arrested for his murder.

However, a hologram of the rapper performing - dubbed a 'humagram' - is set to prove that there is indeed Life After Death, as his best-known album was titled.

It will first appear in the new video by his widow, singer Faith Evans, thanks to a joint venture by ARHT Media and the company that handles his estate, ByStorm Entertainment. There is also speculation that it may make an appearance with Puff Daddy and the Family's New York shows next month, around the time of what would have been his 44th birthday.

Evans said: "After seeing all the technologies out there, I realized right away that ARHT Media would be the best partner to bring back Notorious B.I.G. "I look forward to continue working with them and presenting the world with his Humagram in both video and stage format, through the release of my album The King & I."

His mother, Voletta Wallace, said: "Words can't even capture how elated I am for the world to finally see my son again on stage and beyond. Christopher’s impact and legacy will not only live through his past work, but also the new experiences which have been made possible through ARHT Media.”
