Roy Uwe Ludwig Horn, whose collaboration with Siegfried Fischbacher created the world-renowned duo Siegfried and Roy, died of COVID-19 complications on Friday at a Las Vegas Hospital, their publicist reports.
He was 75.
"Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend," said Siegfried in a statement. "From the moment we met, I knew Roy and I, together, would change the world. There could be no Siegfried without Roy, and no Roy without Siegfried."
"Roy was a fighter his whole life including during these final days. I give my heartfelt appreciation to the team of doctors, nurses and staff at Mountain View Hospital who worked heroically against this insidious virus that ultimately took Roy's life," he continued.
Their legendary run in Las Vegas began in 1967 and continued for four decades. The German magicians took up residency at The Mirage in 1989, with a $30 million production that included their famous white tigers.
Horn was attacked by one of those tigers, Mantecore, in October 2003, but survived and remained in public life.
He had VERY SERIOUS underlying conditions his immune system was so busy it doesnt surprise me he didnt survive this!!
That may well be. And maybe nothing could have saved him. But the point is that if the rumors are true then they are still covering up the fact about treating him with the fake drug. If he had survived then they would be telling a different story.
Corona Cooties
Is there anything at all
That they cannot do?
