Siegfried & Roy announced Saturday they will come out of retirement next year to perform at the "Keep Memory Alive" Alzheimer's fundraiser.

It would be their first stage appearance in 41/2 years, since Roy Horn was attacked by a white tiger and nearly died on Oct. 3, 2003, at The Mirage.

They made the surprise announcement Saturday at the 12th annual Alzheimer's benefit for the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute during the gala at the MGM Grand Garden.

They had hinted at coming out of retirement during an exclusive interview with Vegas Confidential.

"Act surprised," Horn said at the time.

Asked if the show will include their white lions and tigers, Siegfried Fischbacher said it "will be the signature of Siegfried and Roy."
