After the news broke, plenty of The Vivienne's closest colleagues and loved ones shared their heartbreak on Instagram, honouring the star's impact on their lives. Their manager, Simon Jones, shared an update soon after breaking the news of The Vivienne's death. He wrote: "These are words I never ever wanted to write. Viv was a close friend, a client and someone I loved very much. From the moment I met them in 2019 I knew we could create magic together and I became their manager.

"Their talent was immense and the light they brought to every room was astonishing. No one has ever made me laugh in my life as much as Viv did. Their comic genius and quick with was like no other. I’m so proud that Viv was such a big part of my life every day for the last 5 years. It’s tragic that their career was only just beginning. In musical theatre Viv had found a space and career they loved, excelled and thrived in. I am heartbroken and devastated at this news. RIP my wonderful friend. You left us way too soon.".
