The high-definition projection of the gangsta rap icon appeared with superstars Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre in a stunning end to the first weekend of the annual music festival in California, setting off a wave of social media debate.

Thousands in the crowd gasped as the shirtless Tupac – killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996 – rose up on the stage.
