Siegfried and Roy were the biggest act in Vegas for so many years. The comparable act is Penn & Teller.

I always wanted to see Siegfried and Roy. Roy was nearly killed by a tiger and the show abruptly ended.

Covid-19 was more lethal than the tiger.

Roy was 75.

> Roy was a fighter his whole life including during these final days," Fischbacher said in a statement. “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.”
