《Drag Race Thailand》第二季泰國(guó)明星班迪特去世，享年38歲

The RuPaul's Drag Race franchise has lost a member of its global family, as EW can confirm that Drag Race Thailand season 2 star Bandit has died at age 38.

《paul’s Drag Race》的全球大家庭失去了一名成員，《娛樂(lè)周刊》證實(shí)，《Drag Race Thailand》第二季明星班迪特去世，享年38歲。

More details surrounding Bandit's death were not immediately available, though several sources close to the situation tell EW that Bandit died Tuesday in Thailand, nearly five years after first appearing on Drag Race Thailand's second season in January 2019. Bandit — a skilled fashion designer known for dazzling looks on the runway — ultimately placed fourth on the show, finishing behind eventual season winner Angele Anang.

關(guān)于班迪特死亡的更多細(xì)節(jié)尚不清楚，但幾位知情人士告訴《娛樂(lè)周刊》，班迪特周二在泰國(guó)去世，離2019年1月第一次出現(xiàn)在泰國(guó)第二季已經(jīng)近五年了。班迪特是一位技術(shù)嫻熟的時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)師，以在t臺(tái)上令人眼花繚亂的造型而聞名，最終在這場(chǎng)秀中排名第四，落后于最終的賽季冠軍安吉爾·阿南。

"We're all completely lost because Bandit has been a light. He has taught me. I would not be the same person I am today without Bandit teaching me about fashion," Drag Race Thailand cohost and UK vs. the World contestant Pangina Heals tells EW via phone, shortly after learning about Bandit's death. "He's been such a visionary, such a giver. He's always telling other people, 'You can do this' or, 'Do that to be better,' in terms of making sure other people have their fashion game on. He was such a funny person, such charisma, such magnetism, and without him, all of us don't know what to do."

“我們都完全迷路了，因?yàn)榘嗟咸厥且槐K明燈。他教會(huì)了我。如果沒(méi)有班迪特教我時(shí)尚，我就不會(huì)是今天的我。”在得知班迪特去世后不久，泰國(guó)Drag Race聯(lián)合主持人兼英國(guó)vs.世界選手Pangina Heals通過(guò)電話告訴EW。“他是這樣一個(gè)有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)的人，這樣一個(gè)給予者。他總是告訴別人，‘你可以做這個(gè)’，或者‘做那個(gè)可以做得更好’，以確保其他人也能跟上時(shí)尚潮流。他是一個(gè)如此有趣的人，如此有魅力，如此有吸引力，沒(méi)有他，我們都不知道該怎么辦。”

Pangina adds that she wants Bandit to be remembered as a "professional person," after working with the fashion-minded queen for years on a variety of designs. "Every single person who knows about the news today has been unable to function. I want her to know that she's so loved, and we are still in shock."

潘吉納補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，她希望班迪特作為一個(gè)“專業(yè)人士”被人們記住，因?yàn)樗c這位時(shí)尚的女王合作了多年，設(shè)計(jì)了各種各樣的服裝。“每一個(gè)知道今天新聞的人都無(wú)法正常工作。我想讓她知道，她是如此地被愛(ài)著，我們?nèi)匀缓苷痼@。”

In addition to Pangina, Bandit's longtime friend and fellow Drag Race contestant, Kana Warrior, shared a statement online, expressing her sadness over her friend's death.

除了Pangina，班迪特的老朋友和同組飆車選手Kana Warrior也在網(wǎng)上發(fā)表了一份聲明，表達(dá)了她對(duì)班迪特去世的悲傷。

"I respect everything, respect you and your decision," Kana wrote in Thai on her Instagram Story, according to a translation provided by the social platform. "Miss you so much."

根據(jù)社交平臺(tái)提供的翻譯，卡納在她的Instagram Story上用泰語(yǔ)寫(xiě)道:“我尊重一切，尊重你和你的決定。”“很想你。”

Angele also posted a message to her Instagram Story, writing that she was "sending love" to her season 2 sisters amid news of Bandit's death.

在班迪特去世的消息傳出后，Angele還在她的Instagram Story上發(fā)了一條消息，寫(xiě)道她正在向她的第二季姐妹們“送上愛(ài)”。
