“This is an honor for me and our family,“ Magalona told ABSCBN News in an exclusive interview Wednesday in Mandaluyong where she also met up with concert producer Francis Lumen and his production staff to discuss the creative process of producing a hologram image of Francis M -- one of the production highlights of the Eraserheads concert at the SMDC Festival Grounds in Paranaque City.

Magalona cannot second-guess at how the King of Pinoy rap will be “resurrected” on stage. Certainly, Francis M’s hologram will be a complicated process, according to the concert’s special effects team who will base it on his video files and matrix of body movements. It will reportedly take a few weeks to finally render Francis M’s hologram.

Francis M was known as a good friend and creative collaborator of the Eraserheads before he passed away due to leukemia in 2009.

“As we all know, he was supposed to perform with them 13 years ago. A few days before the concert, he passed away," recalled Lumen. “And now because of technology, through hologram, we are going to bring him back to perform with the Eraserheads.”
