Leslie Jordan will be honored months after his death in October.
Billboard confirmed the artists who would be part of the upcoming tribute event for Jordan. The special show, "Reportin' for Duty: A Tribute to Leslie Jordan," will be held on Feb. 19 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
Jordan's longtime collaborators joined the lineup of performing artists at the event, including Eddie Vedder, Jake Wesley Rogers, Lukas Nelson, Maren Morris, and Brothers Osborne.
Leanne Morgan, Margaret Cho, Robyn Schall, Brittney Spencer, Billy Strings, Max Greenfield, Ashley McBryde, Cheyenne Jackson, Mayim Bialik, Fancy Hagood, Jelly Roll, Anthony Mason, Jim Parsons, Travis Howard, and Danny Myrick will also appear during the tribute show.
The house band will also welcome the musicians who performed on the late actor's debut album, "Company's Comin'," in 2021.
The proceeds of Jordan's tribute show will be given to the cause close to his heart, EB Research Partnership. The organization funds research to treat and cure Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare condition that leads to blistering and fragile skin.
Fans can avail of tickets starting Jan. 13. A pre-sale will also be held on Jan. 12.
Leslie Jordan's Death
Jordan died in October at the age of 67 following a car crash accident.
KTLA cited a news outlet's confirmation regarding his death, saying that the "American Horror Story" star crashed his BMW around 9:30 a.m. local time following an apparent medical emergency. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Jordan had an appointment with his cardiologist before his passing.
Law enforcement insiders believed he suffered a heart attack before his crash.
The actor, on the other hand, reportedly complained about discomfort and shortness of breath three weeks before his death.
Jordan's agent, David Shaul, released a statement to PEOPLE saying the world is now a darker place without the actor.
"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," he went on.
Before his death, Jordan suffered from COVID-19 but was generally healthy.
The actor-comedian was famously known for his roles in "Star Trek: Voyager," "Lois & Clark," "American Horror Story," and "The New Adventures of Superman."
