Roy attacked...

[silversolitaire]

Oh dear, apparently Roy from the famous magician duo Siegfried and Roy was attacked by one of his white tigers on Friday's show, leaving him in a critical condition. Mew... I like them both and I feel sorry for them. It must be horrible for Roy to be attacked by one of the tigers he's dedicated his life to. Even though I always thought they shouldn't take them to the stage.

Roy, my thoughts are with you. Recover soon.

I know! I heard that this morning. I hope he doesn't die, because I read an interview last year with Siegfried and Roy where they said they'd been in love for thirty years. So cute. I've only seen them on TV though. I read it was a new tiger that bit him.

Really??? They said that?!? I mean, everybody knows they're a couple and nobody bothers of course, but last time I checked they downright refused to admit to it. For as long as I've paid attention to them they proudly showed off their house and their mutual bedroom and everything and it was so obvious they were an item and yet they NEVER answered direct questions to it or admitted it! >_<; Also, I heard two years ago or so that they had seperated privately. Roy had moved to a different place. But I don't know how accurate those reports were. They always insisted nothing had changed.

But yes... he mustn't die. All my thoughts are with him. Say Sarmoti for him...

Well they didn't say that now when I come to think of it. They just said "We've been together for thirty years." I still think it's cute. Some rumour said they broke up in 1997 and now has a house each though they still have a room each at that house they built together. Shirley Maclaine said they used to be lover a long time ago. Or maybe they are just the kind of people who need their own place and their time apart. Yes he's only 59, too young to die. Sarmoti?

Even if he completely recovers, and that's what the latest news seem to be saying, it's a terribly sad story. *sniff*
