The star magician’s last wish comes true. His ashes are scattered in the mountains – together with those of his stage and life partner.
According to his sister, the ashes of the star magician Siegfried are to be scattered in the mountains near Las Vegas – together with the ashes of his partner Roy.
“He wanted his and Roy’s ashes to be scattered over Mount Charleston. The mountains were their refuge, their place to calm down after strenuous shows, ”said Siegfried’s sister Dolore Fischbacher of the“ Bild ”newspaper.
The urns of the two magicians are still in the chapel of their property called “Little Bavaria”. On Thursday, exactly one year after Siegfried’s death, there should be a memorial service according to the “Bild” information. After that, Siegfried’s last wish was to be granted.
Siegfried Fischbacher, from Rosenheim in Upper Bavaria, who had written show history with his long-time partner Roy Horn as “Siegfried & Roy” with white tigers in Las Vegas, died of cancer on January 13, 2021 at the age of 81 in Las Vegas. Horn had died around eight months before Fischbacher.
