Leslie Jordan posted video of himself singing a heaven-themed hymn with Danny Myrick a day before he died.

The day before his tragic death on Monday morning, Leslie Jordan recorded himself singing a traditional Christian hymn with a heaven theme and posted it to Instagram.

A devout Southern Baptist, Jordan died in a car accident in Los Angeles after suffering an unidentified medical emergency at just before 9am.


During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Will & Grace actor gained popularity on social media by posting comedic videos with a certain Southern flamboyance unmatched by many.

He posted his final performance of "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder" on Sunday.

The lyrics of the song in what would be Jordan's last post to Instagram are now being seen as poignant by commenters on the post.

"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."

People noted the juxtaposition of this last post and his later death.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
