Magician Roy Horn, best known as part of the Las Vegas performing duo of Siegfried & Roy, has died at the age of 75 after contracting coronavirus.
Horn and Fischbacher, both Germans, launched their Las Vegas show at the Mirage in 1990, performing elaborate tricks alongside animals.
The entertainer tested positive for COVID-19 last month and was said to have been “responding well to treatment”.
Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher were world renowned for their Las Vegas shows involving white lions and tigers.
