Magician Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy Dead At 75

Magician Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy has died at the age of 75. According to the magician's spokesperson, he passed away due to complications related to COVID-19.

In a statement, Siegfried Fischbacher said, "Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend. 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."


Siegfried & Roy entertained tens of thousands of people with their show at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas which ran from 1990 until October 3, 2003, when, mid-performance, a tiger attacked Roy and dragged him off-stage. He was nearly killed but survived and spent the last 16 and a half years rehabilitating.

It wasn't a one off comment for Lemmy. He genuinely idolized Little Richard. I remember hearing him say similar remarks multiple times. I think it was the "Lemmy" documentary where he went into more detail why Little Richard was his favorite musician and described when he finally got to meet him as a fan.
 
Shad Gaspard Found Dead in Venice Beach, Former WWE Superstar Was 39

This heartbreaking story began on Sunday when Shad Gaspard paid a visit to Venice Beach along with his wife and son. While out in the water, Gaspard and his son along with other swimmers were swept into deep water by a strong rip current. Rescue workers rushed out to save them, and although they had reached Gaspard, the wrestling superstar directed them to make sure his son was safe first. Gaspard's son was then safely pulled from the water, but another large wave reportedly crashed down on Gaspard before lifeguards could make it back out to him. Gaspard went under, and wasn't seen again until his body washed ashore.

Between 2006 and 2010, Gaspard worked as a fan favorite wrestling superstar in WWE. Partnering with JTG, the pair made up the highly entertaining tag team Cryme Tyme, providing some of the most memorable segments on WWE television during that era. After departing WWE, Gaspard continued to wrestle in tag team matches for independent promotions along with JTG. He had also moved on to acting, appearing in movies like Get Hard and The Last Sharknado: It's About Time along with TV shows such as Key & Peele and From Dusk till Dawn: The Series. He also provided stunt work for Birds of Prey and other projects.
