Roy Horn passed away today from coronavirus at the age of 75 according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Horn was best known for being half of the magic/animal act Siegfried & Roy. The two men delighted Las Vegas for years.
“Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend,” Siegfried Fischbacher said in a statement. “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.
“Roy was a fighter his whole life including during these final days. I give my heartfelt appreciation to the team of doctors, nurses and staff at Mountain View Hospital who worked heroically against this insidious virus that ultimately took Roy’s life.”
In 2003, tragedy struck the duo when Horn was bitten by one of their tigers. He spent the rest of his life recovering from the incident.
He might have been able to survive a tiger bite, but he was not able to beat COVID-19.
Last week, we got to know a time in the not-so-distant future when the dead can live on in a virtual world. Not only that, but they can also still communicate with the loved ones they left behind in Amazon Prime’s Upload.
The Sci-Fi dramedy has gotten such great word of mouth, from people like me, that Amazon Studios picked it up for a second season.
If you have not seen the series that everyone is in love with, then binge it now. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Since we are stuck at home, we are trying to find new ways to keep ourselves occupied. Brian May, the guitarist from Queen, decided to do some gardening, and it has become a literal pain in the ass for him.
May explained what happened, “I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening. So suddenly I find myself in a hospital getting scanned to find out exactly how much I’ve actually damaged myself. Turns out I did a thorough job.”
Then he added, “…this is a couple of days ago – and I won’t be able to walk for a while … or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless. So, folks … I need to go dark for a while, getting some complete rest, at home. Please, please don’t send me sympathy – I just need some healing silence for a while. I’ll be back – but I need the complete break. OK? Thanks.”
I know I can’t be the only one who is wondering how he did that. Then again, I don’t garden, so can you gardeners tell me what went wrong and why he won’t be saying, “I want to ride my bicycle” anytime soon.
Once the happiest moments on How I Met Your Mother is when we saw Robin Sparkles sing Let’s Go to the Mall. A lot has happened since that episode aired. Cobie Smulders and the show’s creators, Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, updated her character’s ’90s Canadian tune for the coronavirus pandemic.
Instead of going to the mall, the actress sang Let’s All Stay at Home. Now the once happy tune made me sad, and that makes me mad. Hopefully, by Thanksgiving, I will be able to slap someone on Slapsgiving. That will make me smile again.
When you think of Kevin James, you think of him as a big oaf. That is all going to change after you see him play a neo-Nazi escaped prisoner in Becky on June 5th.
Dominick (Kevin James) shows up at a cabin where Becky (Lulu Wilson) is staying at with her dad (Joel McHale); and he will do everything in his power to find a key that was last seen there. That means he will kill her dad unless he gets it.
Think Home Alone, but f*cked up. I don’t what is more f*cked up the movie or Kevin James being believable in the role. I am so going with the latter.
