This is scary. Amazing, but scary. It seems the Olympics might be able to get Keith Moon after all.

It's pretty cool, but it's not what I would call 'eerily' lifelike.  More like a good video game version of Tupac.

They did a similar thing for the live show of War of the Worlds a few years ago by creating a disembodied head of Richard Burton so he could do his narration stuff during the live show.

Sure, infinitely easier to animate a head, but both the Tupac and Burton vid did a good job considering.

It's another  nail,in the deserved  coffin,of media that  they resort to ressurecting dead  celebrities, rather  than new ideas  and talent. I think it started  with those 'Duets' CD's  some years ago.
