2009

Siegfried & Roy: Siegfried Fisch-bacher, 68, and Roy Horn, 63, plan to make a one-night-only comeback in February 2009, performing their signature show at a fundraiser more than five years after a tiger attack ended their long-running production on the Strip. The pair will perform at Lou Ruvo Brain Institute's "Keep Memory Alive" fundraiser at a location to be confirmed. Tickets to the charity dinner show cost $1,500.

Horn was critically injured when his white tiger, Montecore, sank its teeth into his neck and dragged him offstage in front of a horrified audience at The Mirage in October 2003. The pair have said they believed Montecore sensed Horn was having a stroke and was dragging him to safety, rather than attacking him.
