On October 24, soon after the death of Leslie Jordan was announced, Dolly Parton posted a heartfelt message on her Instagram to share her condolences. "Well I am as hurt and shocked as if I have lost a family member," the note, posted as an image, begins. "Leslie and I had a special bond, I think the world felt they had a special bond with him. I know people always say 'Oh, they will be missed' but in this case that could not be more true. He will be missed by everyone who knew him personally and by everyone who was entertained by him. Rest in peace lil' brother."
According to NPR, Jordan released an album of gospel songs last year called "Company's Comin'" that featured a duet with Parton. In an interview with ET Canada, the actor said of the country music legend, "She makes you so relaxed. She just is who she is. People say, 'What's she like?' Well you know what she's like! ... I count her as one of the best."
