(KRON) — Roy Horn, of Siegfried & Roy, has died due to COVID-19 complications, publicists announced Friday.

Horn died at a Las Vegas hospital on Friday. He was 75.


Siegfried & Roy redefined live magic with rare and endangered animals, creating modern era entertainment in Las Vegas.

“Today the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend,” Siegfried said. “From the moment we met, I knew Roy and I, together, would change the world. There could be no Siegfried without Roy, and no Roy without Siegfried.”

Rest in peace, Roy.
