The Muse brothers, George and Willie Muse, were born in Roanoke, Virginia, in the 1890’s. They were born with a congenital disorder characterised by the complete absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes commonly known as Albinism.
After being kidnapped as young children they ended up working the sideshow circuit for over 60 years, playing music as ‘The Ambassadors from Mars’.
George Muse died in in 1971, 10 years after the pair retired. Many expected Willie to quickly follow his brother, but he continued to live until 2001 when he died at the age of 108.
