Ashley McBryde, Eddie Vedder, Tanya Tucker & More Lead Tribute to Leslie Jordan in Nashville: ‘He Was a Light in My Life’

A cavalcade of musicians, actors and comedians gathered at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville on Sunday evening (Feb. 19) to "report for duty” to celebrate the life and career of the late Leslie Jordan, who died Oct. 24, 2022, at age 67. Many of the artists featured on Company’s Comin’ were on hand to perform and share memories of Jordan during the event, dubbed “Reportin’ For Duty: A Tribute to Leslie Jordan,” which packed the 4,000-seat Opry House Sunday evening. The love in the room for Jordan was palpable, whether performers and speakers had known Jordan for years or only hours. The proceeds from the event went to a cause close to Jordan’s heart, the EB Research Partnership, the largest global organization dedicated to funding research to treat and cure Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
