Leslie Jordan honored by Eddie Vedder and more at Nashville tribute concert

More than a dozen country music stars took the stage at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House Sunday night to honor the late Leslie Jordan — but it was a comedian from New York City who summed up the spirit of the evening clearer than anyone else. Robyn Schall was telling the audience — a sold-out crowd at the 4,000-seat venue — about making Instagram videos with the comedic actor in recent years. "So we'd make a video, and then he would call me and say, 'Hey, Robyn, we're gonna post this. What's the best time to do it, so you shine the best?' I think it's so fitting (that) a tribute night to Leslie Jordan is just all of his friends, shining so bright." All proceeds from Sunday's show went towards EBRP,  which works to find a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a family of genetic disorders that affect the skin.
