硬漢阿諾悼念嘆不捨 著名魔術組合成員驚傳新冠肺炎病逝

 

德國著名魔術搭檔齊格菲與羅伊（Siegfried＆Roy）成員羅伊霍恩（Roy Horn）8日因新冠肺炎併發症，在拉斯維加斯離世，享壽75歲。他的搭檔齊格菲悲痛表示：「今天，世界失去了一個偉大的魔術師，但我損失了最好的朋友。從我與羅伊相遇的一刻，我就知道我們將會改變世界，沒有他就沒有我。」

齊格菲與羅伊的白老虎魔術秀是90年代的拉斯維加斯最具代表性的魔術表演秀之一，表演時會有掰獅子和白老虎現身，但2003年一次表演中，羅伊在舞台上被突然抓狂的白老虎攻擊咬住頸部，不但再也無法表演魔術，更造成他左半身局部癱瘓，甚至影響了說話能力，斷送魔術師生涯。

齊格菲與羅伊過去有不少名人粉絲支持，如此不幸消息傳出，好萊塢巨星阿諾史瓦辛格也拍影片悼念，直說自己一直很喜歡齊格菲與羅伊：「他們為娛樂產業樹立了新的標杆，沒有人能比得上他們的才華和活力」。他透露，他的母親曾看過2人的魔術秀，而且對她來說意義重大，「他們讓她感覺像個女王一樣」，更大讚2人的表演是拉斯維加斯史上最好的秀，「我喜歡看羅伊的魔法和特技，不敢置信他走了。」

Siegfried and Roy were a duo of German-American magicians and entertainers, best known for their appearances with white lions and white tigers. It was composed of Siegfried Fischbacher (born June 13, 1939) and Roy Horn (born Uwe Ludwig Horn; October 3, 1944 – May 8, 2020).

From February 1, 1990, until Horn's career-ending injury on October 3, 2003, the duo formed Siegfried & Roy at the Mirage Resort and Casino, which was regarded as the most-visited show in Las Vegas, Nevada. From August 2004 to May 2005, Fischbacher and Horn were executive producers of Father of the Pride.

An article from 2008 said Siegfried and Roy never identified as gay, although a relationship was often publicly assumed.
