British drag star James Lee Williams, known professionally as The Vivienne, has died at the age of 32.
Williams shot to international fame as the winner of the first UK version of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2019, and became the first drag performer to compete on Britain’s Dancing on Ice in 2023.
Their death was confirmed early on Monday morning.
“It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved James Lee Williams – The Vivienne – has passed away this weekend,” Simon Jones PR posted.
“James was an incredible loved, warm-hearted and amazing person.”
“Their family are heartbroken at the loss of their son, brother, and uncle.”

Say wha...? This could complicate the autopsies. That's a shame.
WSGAS.
We Scarcely Give A .....
Oh, well.
I'm guessing He, She and It covers all bases thus qualifying for plural. Plural makes perfect sense for such sufferers of Dissociative identity disorder (DID).
I wish we could go back to an era where saying you blew a tranny at a drag race meant that you had a mechanical failure at the racetrack.
The doctor doing the autopsy has better wear a hazmat suit. God only knows how many exotic bacteria and viruses will be found in its corpse.
I’m proud of my ignorance in this realm.
Really. I read the title and thought there had been a crash on a speedway during a race somewhere…
That’s right.
So am I.
Gervais did the thing himself.
One of them was "What do you mean by "let's go smoke a fag"?
Based on the standard saccharine nonsense media statements, I guess death was by overdose or suicide.
First of all, I am a woman, 72 years old, and have been “in show business” for nearly a half century. (Rock Musician).
That said, I apply a thin layer of foundation, a little blush, and eye make-up every day. I hardly increase it at all for a stage performance. Yet, my facial features are visible onstage, and there is no question that I am a woman, even if I wear jeans, a T-Shirt, and engineer boots, play the bass, and sing contralto.
If Transsexuals claim they are “born that way”, why do they have to apply their make-up with a trowel? Why do they have eyeshadow that creeps up their foreheads, and huge fake eyelashes that look like awnings?
If they are “born that way”, why do they have to inject silicone into their lips, pull out teeth to raise their cheekbones, and have multiple plastic surgeries to change the shape of their faces?
If they are “born that way” why do they have to schedule painful, unnecessary , and often, un-healable surgeries, removing healthy organs and substituting non-functional, artificial ones that have to maintained forever as “wound-care”?
If they are “born that way”, why do they have to continue taking “opposite” sex hormones for the rest of their lives, to maintain the illusion?
Finally, if people are “born that way”, why do they have to groom and manipulate children who weren’t “born that way” into thinking they were?
Just musing.
Sometimes I think too much.
TMI
Perhaps both.
Agreed.
Drag Race UK ?
This headline is about queers competing in women’s sports ?
EuroFags, geeze Louise, enough already.
