The Vivienne, a celebrated star from RuPaul's Drag Race UK, was honored posthumously with the Icon Award at the inaugural Metro Pride Awards in London. Attending the ceremony was her family, who accepted the award on her behalf. Her father delivered a heartfelt speech, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of love from fans. The Vivienne gained fame after winning the first season of the UK version of the show, but tragically passed away at 32 due to unnatural circumstances. Her legacy continues as she is remembered by friends and fans alike at the awards ceremony.
James loved being part of the entertainment world and I know he would have absolutely loved tonight's event. While it is extremely bittersweet to be here tonight, we know this would have meant the world to him.
Thank you to everyone for your huge love and support for James, thank you so much.
The Vivienne, who rose to international fame in 2019 after winning the first ever season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, was found dead in their bathroom at their home.
After The Vivienne was honoured with the Icon Award, five of her fellow Drag Race UK stars and close friends took to the stage for a tribute performance.
