Shortly before his death, Roy Horn recorded a farewell video for his long-term partner Siegfried. The published this now …
Almost exactly three months ago, on May 8, 2020, the magician and entertainer Roy Horn died of a corona infection at the age of 75. Now his long-time partner Siegfried Fischbacher (81) posted a moving video on Facebook that Roy left him as a parting gift. Siegfried wrote: "As you all know, Roy was always ahead of us all." He now wants to share the video with everyone. In the approximately 15 minutes, pictures from the time together of the magician duo "Siegfried and Roy" are cut together and partly underlaid with Roy's words.
Two minutes of it you can hear Roy's already weakened voice: "Hello everyone, thank you to everyone who stopped by and said goodbye to me." He now looks down at everyone but is always there: "If you really want to talk to me, go to 'Little Bavaria' (shared property in Las Vegas, editor's note) and look at the starry sky at night . The brightest star you see: That's me. Talk to me. "
After his death, he worries about his partner Siegfried, with whom he was still in a relationship until 1998: "The one who needs the most attention now is Siegfried. He is vulnerable." Siegfried is the best thing that has ever happened to him. He said goodbye to him personally at the end of the audio recording: "Well then, good friend: ciao, ciao. I'll see you somewhere."
The two magicians, who came from Germany, met on a passenger steamer in 1960 and subsequently performed together. Thanks to their pompous shows in Las Vegas, they became world famous in the early 80s. After an accident with one of the famous white Bengal tigers in 2003, in which Roy was seriously injured, they ended their stage career.
