Bad news for magic fans hoping for Siegfried and Roy's return to the stage: not gonna happen. Siegfried Fischbacher is quoted in Tuesday's edition of German magazine Neues Blatt as saying that "Roy and I miss our audience. But there will not be a comeback."
The duo gave their final performance last February after a five-year hiatus. That break, of course, came after Roy Horn was mauled by a white tiger named Montecore during a performance at The Mirage in Las Vegas.
Siegfried says Roy is still battling the long-term effects of the vicious attack, which left Horn in critical condition with severe blood loss.
"It is a miracle that he can stand on his own feet again and enjoy life," Siegfried said of Roy who is partially paralyzed.
The two performers, who are originally from Germany and live in Las Vegas, are getting used to their new life as retirees. "We like it," Siegfried said.
