Oh, dear. For our younger readers: Tupac Shakur was a very popular rapper and actor who was murdered at the age of 25 in September 1996. Last night, a realistic-looking Tupac hologram performed at the Coachella Music Festival. You can read our full report on Twitter reaction to Coachella last night here; here’s a video of the hologram in action:
Some Twitter users are not completely convinced that it’s a hologram. Seriously:

Some have questions:
