The day before actor Leslie Jordan died in a car crash the famous performer shared a video of him and musician Danny Myrick singing a hymn about Heaven.
“The Call Me Kat” actor died Monday at age 67, following a car crash in Los Angeles, California, TMZreported. The entertainment news outlet said the Emmy winner possibly “suffered some sort of medical emergency” before losing control of his car that crashed into the side of a building.
“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan. Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times,” a statement from his rep read.
One day before the tragedy, Jordan posted a clip of himself with musician Danny Myrick singing an old hymn.
Sunday Mornin’ Hymn Singin’ with @dannymyrick,” the “Will & Grace” and “Newhart” alum posted on Instagram Sunday.
The clip showed Jordan singing the song “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder,” a hymn written in 1893. The lyrics speak about being called to Heaven when the trumpet sounds.
“When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more/ And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair/ When the saved of Earth shall gather over on the other shore/ And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.”
At the end of the clip, Leslie said he had been “baptized 13 times” to ensure he would be in Heaven when his time came.
