After learning about the tragedy, Michelle Visage, a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, paid respect to the star: It’s heartbreaking, and I’m at a loss for words.
We go all the way back to when I first began visiting the UK, my sweetheart @thevivienne_. You were consistently there, consistently giving, consistently laughing, and consistently on target.
“Your talent, your wit, your drag, and your laughter.” I liked everything, but most of all, I adored your companionship. For many, you served as a lighthouse.
I’m fortunate to have met you and to have had many laughs with you; it was incredible to see your goal come true in front of my eyes when you made your West End debut.
