The Vivienne aka James Lee Williams has died at 32.

A spox wrote on Instagram of the RuPaul's Drag Race champ:

It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved James Lee Williams – The Vivienne, has passed this weekend. James was an incredibly loved, warm-hearted and amazing person. Their family are heartbroken at the loss of their son, brother and uncle. They are so proud of the wonderful things James achieved in their life and career. We will not be releasing any further details. We please ask that James’s family are given the time and privacy they now need to process and grieve.

I do hope they eventually offer details — I understand not prying, but when a family refuses to offer any details, it always comes off as someone's death seeming embarrassing, and we all die and all deserve to be mourned, whether we die of old age, suicide, addiction, an accident, or anything else. My heart goes out to all the fans, which includes those who may not have been into drag, but caught The Vivienne on the West End.

The Vivienne's Trump was particularly entertaining, and they could even do it in song:
