A tiger mauling has kept them offstage for over 4 years, but Siegfried & Roy aren’t letting it end their careers. Next February they’ll perform a one-night-only special for charity, reports Der Spiegel, and their publicist says he’d be “very surprised if animals were not part of the performance.”
Siegfried told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the show "will be the signature of Siegfried and Roy." Once one of Vegas’ top acts, Siegfried & Roy shut down in 2003 after a white tiger mauled Roy onstage before a horrified audience. The performers now say the tiger, sensing an imminent stroke, was trying to help Roy, who refers to the beast as “my lifesaver.”
