The death of beloved actor, comedian, and singer Leslie Jordan has already hit the country music family.

Jordan loved country music, played the Grand Ole Opry, and even did his own gospel album, Company’s Comin’, in 2021 that featured collaborations with Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Chris Stapleton, TJ Osborne, Ashley McBryde, and more.  

Jordan is also featured prominently in the Brothers Osborne 2021 music video “I’m Not For Everyone.” 

Just minutes after his death hit the news this afternoon (10/24), country stars took to their social media to express their great sadness after hearing about how the actor died in a car crash in Hollywood, California.
