As previously announced, Siegfried & Roy took the Saturday night for a brief performance and their final bow ever!
The former lovers shared the stage as a part of a benefit for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The center is aimed to treat brain disorders, including disorders similar to the one which Roy Horn now suffers from as a result of injuries the illusionist sustained due to the 2003 on-stage tiger attack.
The tiger who was responsible for Roy’s severe injuries appeared as part of the duo’s final illusion this weekend.
The two slowly performed a signature illusion as [Siegfried], dressed in white robes and a mask, stood inide a cage, which was then cloaked in drapes. As [Roy] removed the curtain seconds later, [Siegfried] appeared across stage, a hulking tiger in his place.
How brave!!!
If that isn’t considered taking life by the balls, we don’t know what is!
Siegfried and Roy’s final performance will be broadcast this Friday on 20/20 as a part of Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Returns.
