The day before Leslie Jordan joined the already too-long list of celebrities who died in car crashes, he posted a new video to Instgram. Given his death the following day, the video is now steeped in heartbreak. On October 23, Jordan posted a clip of himself singing a bluesy hymn while his friend strums a guitar. “Sunday Mornin’ Hymn Singin’ with @dannymyrick. Danny helped me with a new original song that should be comin’ out real soon. Love. Light. Leslie,” he captioned the clip.
Jordan looks healthy and happy as he sings the hymn, “When the Lord is Called up Yonder.” The lyrics are made all the more poignant by his death the following day. “When the trumpets of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more. The morning breaks eternal, bright, and fair,” Jordan croons. “When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there,” he continues.
There was an outpouring of grief and love from fans on the post. “RIP, you made me smile so many times during the pandemic; you will be missed,” read one comment with a crying emoji. “My heart is broken right now,” another fan commented. “The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” his manager told The New York Post. “What he lacked in height, he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner, and human being,” they added.
