Heklina, 54, was found dead in London on Monday morning
A show parodying cult 1981 movie Mommy Dearest in Manchester this week has been cancelled following the tragic death of co-star and legendary San Francisco drag queen Heklina.
“I do not know the cause of death yet. I know this is shocking news and I am beyond stunned, but I wanted to let folks know what has happened. Heklina is not just my best friend, but a beloved icon of our community. I am a mess. The star - whose real name is Stefan Grygelko - found notoriety in the 1990s after hosting club nights at venues like The EndUp and The Stud. Her weekly show, Mother, was regularly attended by stars including Lady Gaga.
Divina de Campo posted on Instagram: “Oh god I’m so so sorry to hear this. Sending you so much love.” The RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star added on Twitter: “Such sad news RIP Heklina x”.
