Roy Horn | Tiger Attack!!!
From 1993 to 2003, Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher were the marquis entertainers at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Their show, Siegfried & Roy, featured illusions, exotic animals, and truly awful clothing. In ’03, the duo were doing their usual act when a seven-year-old Bengal tiger suddenly and unexpectedly acted like a wild animal and attacked Horn. Horn was hospitalized in critical condition for several weeks after suffering severe blood loss, and he would subsequently have a stroke that caused partial paralysis. The tiger was put into quarantine for 10 days following the attack, but was later released into his habitat at The Mirage. Horn recovered, and they did a few shows here and there, but it would never be a full-time gig again. In April 2010, Siegfried & Roy officially retired.
