**The Vivienne**, who tragically passed away in January, is set to be honoured at the inaugural **Metro Pride Awards**, which will bring together the most influential and inspiring LGBTQ+ individuals and organisations to honour and celebrate the extraordinary talent, resilience and passion that defines LGBTQ+ communities.

The media personality and reality star died last month at the age of 32, sending shockwaves through the drag community as fellow queens and fans mourned their loss.

The event, held during **LGBT+ History Month**, will also see The Vivienne given a posthumous award recognising their groundbreaking contribution to drag, queer visibility, and advocacy.

**Simon Jones**, a close friend and manager of The Vivienne, said: ‘The Vivienne was a trailblazer, a powerhouse, and a friend to so many.

‘This iconic performance will be a beautiful tribute by her best *Drag Race* sisters, filled with love and will reflect the dazzling energy that The Vivienne brought to every stage.’

Metro’s Executive Editor, **Richard Hartley-Parkinson**, added: ‘This year’s ceremony will be an emotional yet uplifting occasion as fellow queens and fans come together to pay their respects and honour The Vivienne’s enduring legacy.’

On **February 26**, stars will come together for the glam ceremony hosted by **Rylan**.

The likes of **GK Barry**, **Jill Scott**, **Jonathan Bailey** and **Ncuti Gatwa** have been nominated for awards, while **MindOut**, the LGBTQ+ mental health charity, has been shortlisted foer **Grassroots or Charity Organisation of the Year** award.
