Siegfried & Roy Prepare to Say Farewell to Vegas

Legendary Las Vegas showmen Siegfried & Roy are planning a shocking return to Las Vegas for one final show - five years after an onstage tiger attack closed their show.

Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn appeared in more than 5,000 shows together before Horn was attacked by one of the duo's famous white tigers in 2003.

Horn suffered a stroke and partial paralysis as a result of the incident, but he has slowly fought his way back to health - and the pair is determined to bid their followers a final farewell with a comeback performance on 28 February.

Horn tells tabloid the National Enquirer, "We never got to say a proper goodbye. This will be our final bow, and it will never be repeated."

Siegfried adds, "It has given Roy a whole new lease on life. We are both incredibly excited about doing this one last time."
