Emotional vigil held for Ru Paul's Drag Race star The Vivienne
The Vivienne’s friends have paid tribute to the drag pro at an emotional vigil in Liverpool.
The TV star, real name James Lee Williams, who shot to fame after winning the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, died at the age of 32 earlier this month.
On Sunday, friends and fans gathered to pay their respects at St George’s Hall which was lit up in green in a nod to the drag queen’s role playing the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard Of Oz musical.
Drag queen Danny Beard said they had just come back from RuPaul’s Drag Con where “the love for Viv was really overwhelming”.
“I think this is what tonight should be about… a celebration of someone who touched the lives of so many,” they said.
“The Vivienne was one of the world’s most recognisable drag queens, proper world class entertainer.
“And above all a shining beacon in all of our lives and especially for the LGBT (community).
“She also used her platform to spread joy, advocate for acceptance, challenge stereotypes and to be a voice for those who need it.”
