San Francisco Drag Icon Heklina Dies While on Tour in London.

Famed San Francisco drag performer Heklina, also known as Stefan Grygelko, was found dead in London where she was performing in a touring show. The cause of death is unknown. Heklina was touring with Peaches Christ in "Mommie Queerest," a musical parody of the 1981 Joan Crawford biopic "Mommie Dearest." Heklina was a co-founder of the long-running drag show "Trannyshack" and was part of the group of owners that relaunched nightclub and theater the Oasis in San Francisco's SoMa District. The LGBTQ+ community is mourning the loss of a drag legend, brilliant performer, and trailblazing community icon.
