Weeks before his death, Leslie Jordan reflected on his career and unexpected turn to country music
CBSN
A few weeks ago, beloved actor and comedian Leslie Jordan reflected on his life and career in an interview with CBS News, including his recent — and unexpected — pivot to country music.
"So unexpected just to happen in my 60s — I'm a country music singer now," he told CBS News with a laugh, just weeks before he died Monday after a car crash.
"I love Nashville and the way that Nashville embraced me, you know, and to be taken kind of serious, and to have made an album with Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile? That's something."
