USA Today: Roy Horn, half of the Las Vegas stage duo Siegfried & Roy, died of complications due to the coronavirus Friday. He was 75.
“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 Reno Gazette Journal, 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.”
Roy Horn tested positive for the contagious respiratory illness in late April. MORE
Ok, I’ll be first. COVID? not AIDS?
And what else did he test positive for before that, that contributed to his demise?
I refuse to believe the stats any more, that say, “he/she/it died of COVID.” Bullshit.
RIP, Mr Horn. You and you class act entertainment will be missed in this world.
Please, please call up Wayne Newton for a well deserved, overdue autopsy. .
Toxic – He wasn’t looking / doing so hot before this.
I can remember seeing Roy around the neighborhood in a neck bandage/brace.
He looked sick for a long time before the ‘rona got him.
Roy is in the blue jacket.

Was he the Tiger Queen? Too soon?
MJA – He really did not look healthy at all.
Tigers are not pets.
Meh, a couple of Liberace’s with big kitty-kats instead of candelabras. Well, RIP anyway good sir. Thanks for the memories but I always liked Gunther Gebel-Williams better
