Popular Drag Queen Dies While Performing on Stage at Gay Bar in Philly

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Valencia Prime was a fixture on the Philadelphia drag scene, hosting her own live showcase called "Prime Time."

It was while hosting that show Monday night that she collapsed and later died.

"It happened so fast," said friend and fellow drag performer Nikita Sinnn Monroe, who was preparing to perform at another location when she heard the news about Prime.

Asia Monroe, who is also a performer, says she received up-to-the-minute information about the incident as friends attended the show and witnessed what happened.
