Friends of magicians Siegfried & Roy fear that doing one final show could kill Roy Horn, who has never fully recovered from being mauled onstage by a tiger five years ago. But apparently this will be a different "Final Show"
Although the big cats will be there and paraded about, the two showmen say fans have asked for something special and we are going to give it to them."
Despite the risks, insiders say gutsy Roy insists the show must go on - and Siegfried vows they'll perform as promised.
The Las Vegas legends are already rehearsing for their farewell performance on Feb. 28 at the Bellagio hotel and casino, which will be filmed for a prime-time Alphabet Net special.
"But along with the show, we will have people traveling the audience to see the baby lions and tigers up front. Surprisingly enough, that has always been the biggest request over the years"' stated Roy or Siegfried.
"We never got to say a proper goodbye," Roy or Siegfried said recently during a tour of the new Lou Ruvo Brain Institute. "This will be our final bow, and it will never be repeated," stated Roy or Siegfried. "Unless of course, we go broke. CURSE that Bernie Madoff!"
"Yes", stated Siegfried or Roy, "Curse that Bernie Madoff!!"
