The State concedes the sentencing court erred in imposing life sentences for appellant Anthony Hardy’s convictions for attempted felony murder. The State’s concession of error is both professional and correct. A sentencing court may not reclassify attempted felony murder, a first-degree felony, as a life felony on the basis of the defendant’s use of a firearm, when firearm use is an essential element of the underlying felony, as it was here. See *487Traylor v. State, 785 So.2d 1179, 1181 (Fla. 2000). Accordingly, the case is remanded for resentencing with respect to appellant’s attempted felony murder convictions.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
