Legendary magician and Las Vegas icon Roy Horn passed away on Friday from complications of COVID-19. He was 75.
An outpouring of support has been shown on social media and around the valley since the news came in of the famed entertainer’s passing.
Horn was half of the duo of Siegfried & Roy. He and Siegfried Fischbacher are best known for their show that ran from 1990 to 2003 at the Mirage hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
“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,” Siegfried Fischbacher said.
However, the show ended in 2003 after Horn was attacked on stage by one of the white tigers used in the duo’s act.
“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 MountainView Hospital who worked heroically against this insidious virus that ultimately took Roy’s life,” Siegfried Fischbacher said.
Siegfried & Roy consistently attracted sellout crowds through the years and signed a lifetime contract with the Mirage in 2001.
The pair began performing in Las Vegas lounges in the late 1960s and certainly left their mark on the city during their run until officially retiring from show business in 2010.
MGM Resorts said the world lost a legendary figure with the passing of Horn on Friday. His story, and the story of Siegfried & Roy, are larger than life.
Nevada’s Gov. Steve Sisolak also thanked Horn for his years of entertainment in the state while sending his thoughts and prayers to his loved ones.
