have got to be the most flamboyant person
to kick the bucket this week.”
Roy Horn –
Entertainer, magician, schwuler.
October 3, 1944 – May 8, 2020.
Aged 75 years.
Most recognized for: He was half of the infamous Vegas magic duo “Siegfried and Roy,” renowned for making lions, tigers, and each others’ schwanzes disappear. On his 59th birthday, before a live audience at The Mirage, Roy had a stroke and was mauled by one of his white tigers… leaving him with a severed spine. He managed to limp along for several years after… until the Rona finished what the tiger couldn’t.
