We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of James Lee Williams, better known as The Vivienne. At just 32, The Vivienne was a beacon of creativity, humor, and authenticity in the drag community. Winning the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, The Vivienne inspired countless individuals with their immense talent and dedication to the art of drag.

Their legacy will live on as a true champion who embodied what it means to be a trailblazer. Our hearts go out to their family, friends, and fans during this difficult time. Rest in power, Vivienne. You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
