Full headline: “Drag Race” star Trinity The Tuck thanks Madonna for using mom's photo in Celebration tour tribute to AIDS crisis

RuPaul's Drag Race winner Trinity The Tuck is grateful to Madonna for shedding a ray of light on a dark period during the opening night of the pop star's Celebration tour.

After revealing on Instagram Monday that an interlude at the Queen of Pop's concert used a photo of her late mother during a tribute to lives lost during the AIDS crisis, the drag superstar tells EW she was deeply moved by the gesture — and reveals how Madonna's team got ahold of the photo for the segment.

"I posted a while back about my mother passing from complications of AIDS, and this Instagram account called The Aids Memorial reposted my exact post. They share photos and stories of lives lost from this disease," Trinity tells EW. "The Aids Memorial contacted me directly to see if I was interested in allowing her to use my mother's photo. Of course, I was delighted to be asked. It's amazing that Madonna is highlighting all of these people whose lives were lost in memory of them for her entire tour!"

She adds that she has a special appreciation for the 65-year-old icon's commemorative video, and praises the fact that "Madonna is doing this for so many people" as the tour continues around the world.
