Last night at Rock the Bells, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were reunited with late mentor Eazy-E, who died nearly two decades ago. More than a year after Dr. Dre and Snoop brought 2Pac back at Coachella<\/a> via hologram, Bone Thugs performed with an incredibly realistic avatar of Eazy.<\/p>\n

The night before the performance, Bone Thugs rehearsed with the avatar and Wish Bone admitted it was strange. “It was kind of really crazy in rehearsals because I couldn\u2019t really focus that much looking back at Eazy-E,” he told Rolling Stone,<\/em> laughing. “Man, it was crazy. It ain\u2019t no flat on the wall screen, it was for real, it was real freaky.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the rehearsals were “freaky,” performing in front of tens of thousands of fans \u2013 who busted out their cameras as soon as Bone Thugs mentioned from the stage that they were about to pay tribute to Eazy, as everyone knew this was coming \u2013 stirred up a lot of feelings, especially given that September 7th would have been Eazy\u2019s fiftieth birthday.<\/p>\n

“We bringing out the avatar Eazy-E back with Bone Thugs, it\u2019s obviously his birthday today, it\u2019s a very emotional night for us,” Wish said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s all the emotions you can think of \u2013 it\u2019s the love, it\u2019s happy, it\u2019s sad, you wish he was really here, you go through all those emotions because you haven\u2019t seen him or been close to him in a real physical appearance in a long time,” Bizzy Bone added. “So it\u2019s like any emotion you can think of when you\u2019re losing someone, let alone someone who gave you your whole career and the opportunity to become who we are. So it\u2019s emotions all through the building.”<\/p>\n

Last night\u2019s performance was the culmination of a long-time wish for Bone Thugs. “Every night we pay a tribute to the fallen soldiers of rap \u2013 2Pac, Biggie, Eazy. This is a dream come true, it\u2019s something we\u2019ve been wanting to do for a long time. Even before it was done with 2Pac, it was an idea that we had, if we could bring them back to life, because we\u2019re the only group that could incorporate all three of those souls into our show,” Bizzy said.<\/p>\n
