Roy Horn of Las Vegas stage duo Siegfried & Roy has died of complications due to coronavirus
“Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend,” Siegfried Fischbacher said in a statement to the, part of the USA TODAY Network. “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.”Staying Apart, Together:Horn was born in Germany in 1944. He began his work with animals at age 10, adopting a wolfdog and cheetah from the Bremen Zoo, which was owned by a family friend.
Horn was rushed to the hospital and survived multiple surgeries. Following he attack, he had difficulty walking and talking, which a 2005 USDA report said was the result of a crushed windpipe and damage to an artery carrying oxygen to Horn's brain. The performers were working toward a return to the stage as late as 2007, telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal that a new show was"in the experimental stage" even as Horn continued his recovery from the mauling.
"All the doctors say what he's doing now is impossible," Fischbacher said. "I've always said, 'I am the magician and Roy is the magic.' And Roy shows me every day the magic – the magic of life."The duo performed about 5,000 shows for 10 million fans during their run at The Mirage, grossing more than $1 billion.
