To the family of: Vivien May-Royale - Katie Tangey

We, the burlesque and performing community, are raising money to support the family of Katie Tangey (Vivien May-Royale), whose life was tragically cut short on Thursday, 16th January.

Proceeds will go directly to Katie's mother, Tracey, to support her living expenses and funeral costs during this insurmountable time of grief.

Katie / Viv... we love you so much. You were a force, an icon, a star and a wonderful friend.

A note from Katie's family: We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of love and generosity from all of you. Our family is small and incredibly close, so to see this wave of support from so many who loved Katie has been beyond anything we could have imagined. Katie was the heart of our world, and knowing she touched so many lives humbles us in ways words can’t fully express. Your kindness allows us to give her the farewell she deserves and offers us support in this time of profound loss. Thank you from the depths of our hearts for standing with us and honouring her memory.
