Known for his work with big cats, elephants and snakes, the 75-year-old German-born magician died of complications from the coronavirus.
Roy Horn, half of Las Vegas illusionist duo Siegfried and Roy, died Friday of complications from the coronavirus. He was 75.
Horn’s celebrated work with exotic animals came to an abrupt and violent end in 2003 when he was dragged from the stage by a 400-pound white tiger and seriously injured. “Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend,” Fischbacher said in a statement to US media.Born in 1944 in Nordenham, Germany, Horn gravitated towards exotic animals with his first pets — a wolf-dog named Hexe and Chico the cheetah — adopted from Bremen Zoo.
They made their Las Vegas debut in the late sixties, eventually settling at The Mirage where they performed hundreds of shows from 1990 until the 2003 attack.
