Popular New York Queen Maddox Madison Loses Battle to Skin Cancer

6/19/2014

This morning, the drag community lost one of its fiercest sisters. Maddox Madison, the fabulous and popular New York City queen, has passed away after a long and courageous battle against skin cancer. She took the stage by storm night after night in NYC, but if you aren't from the area, you may recognize her as a model in the world renowned 'Half Drag' portrait project. She also, however, became a role model for other cancer patients and survivors.

Maddox spoke openly and candidly about her fight against cancer, and shared her journey with those she loved freely. In a compelling and powerful YouTube video (which you can watch below), she filmed herself in the hospital day in and day out, followed her diagnosis process, and opened up about one of the hardest and bravest journeys a person can make.

Today, her sisters are remembering her on their social media pages, and of course in their hearts.

All of Maddox Madison's drag sisters, friends, and family are in our hearts and thoughts today. She was an inspiring performer and person both on and off the stage.

Watch Madison tell her own story here:

She may have lost her battle with skin cancer, but her spirit still thrives in the lives she has touched in her years. She'll certainly be remembered, and even now she continues to inspire those who knew her. Her Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent live on and shine brightly.

Rest In Peace, Maddox Madison.

I am so shocked. I followed his Drag Race recaps last year. His recaps with Logan were the best. I didn't follow any recaps this year so I had no idea what he was going through. He was young and it took him so fast. He really didn't get a chance to experience life.

I only recently discovered his C Maddox youtube page and quickly watched everything I could find. He had a great sense of humor and seemed like an all-around lovely person. I thought it odd when he stopped posting for a while, and then I was devastated to learn of his cancer. His attitude was so positive, and his family/friends so supportive that I really thought he would beat the odds and make it. The memory of this lovely human being will live on.
