Paying tribute to the stars we’ve lost in 2025 – in memoriam

As a gamer, it pains me deeply to pen these words. Viv was more than just a friend or a client; they were someone I held dear. The moment our paths crossed back in 2019, I sensed an unspoken bond between us, a connection that promised to weave enchanting tales together. And so, I took on the role of their manager, a responsibility I embraced with utmost enthusiasm and affection.

Viv’s talent was enormous, and they always managed to brighten up any room with their charm. I have never laughed as much in my life as I did with Viv. Their humor and sharp intellect were simply unique. I feel privileged and fortunate that Viv played such a significant role in my life for the past five years. It’s heartbreaking to think that they were just starting to make a mark in their career. In musical theater, Viv discovered a niche and profession they adored, excelled at, and flourished within.

Simon Jones, The Vivienne’s manager and PR, expressed his profound sorrow over the news, stating, ‘I am left speechless with heartache.’ Michelle Visage echoed similar feelings, saying, ‘There are no words to describe my grief.’ Both paid tribute to Vivienne, praising her for her exceptional talent on stage and screen, her role as a mentor and inspiration, and her personal friendship. They acknowledged that the shock of her untimely departure will be felt deeply by everyone who knew her.
