Country music icon Dolly Parton paid tribute to the late Leslie Jordan in a recent episode of his Fox series Call Me Kat. Back in October, the LGBTQ+ icon tragically passed away at the age of 67.
According to a report from TMZ, the beloved star suffered a “medical emergency” after crashing his BMW into the side of a building.
In an official statement, Jordan’s agent David Schaul confirmed his death before stating that the world was “definitely a much darker place today” without his “love and light”. “What he lacked in height, he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being.
Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today.” Since Jordan’s tragic death, the entertainment industry has continued to showcase their love for the Will and Grace star, including his Fox series Call Me Kat.
