Roy Horn was the original king of tigers before Joe Exotic came along. The famous magician who included big cats in his shows “died of complications from COVID-19” in a Las Vegas hospital on May 8, his publicist sadly revealed in a press release obtained by HollywoodLife.
Roy was 75 years old. Roy’s longtime magician partner, Siegfried Fischbacher, was devastated over the news. “Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend,” Roy’s partner said in the press release. “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.
