Source: Las Vegas Review-Journal

Roy Horn, of the groundbreaking Las Vegas entertainment team Siegfried & Roy, has died.

He was 75.

A spokesman for the duo confirmed Horn this afternoon at Mountain View Hospital because of complications related to COVID-19.

“Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend,” Siegfried Fischbacher said 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.”

He fought through so much. I am so sorry to learn this. Peace and comfort to those he leaves behind.

Odds that some wingnuts will say this is just one of his magic tricks, of course he's not gone cause COVID is a hoax?
