Frail and Ravaged vegas magic men fight for thrie lives after tiger tragedy.
LEGENDARY Las Vegas magic men Siegfried and Roy are on their last legs 14 years after a horrific on-stage tiger attack destroyed their careers.
Siegfried Fischbacher, 78, has sunk into a dark depression over the loss of their famous animal act — and Beverly Hills psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman says the blond trainer is suffering from a tragic mental illness.
Meanwhile, his 73-year-old business partner and former gay lover, Roy Horn, is also battling a deep funk after a 600-pound male tiger chomped on his neck, crushing an artery, his windpipe and triggering a stroke.
Now Roy has packed on a massive 50 pounds, suffers from a dropping right eye and needs a wheelchair because he can’t move his left hand or walk without help. Friends say he suffered brain damage after tangling with the big cat.
