Leslie Jordan, who died aged 67 after a car accident in Los Angeles on Monday, posted a chilling video just one day before the fatal accident.

On Sunday, the Will and Grace star posted a video of him singing 'When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder' - a hymn about going to heaven.

In the aftermath of the actor's sudden passing, the hymn's message takes on a more somber tone.

He captioned the clip: "Sunday Mornin’ Hymn Singin’ with @dannymyrick. Danny helped me with a new original song that should be comin’ out real soon. Love. Light. Leslie."

The video shows Jordan sitting next to his producer Danny Myrick, who plays guitar as Jordan sings the words to the poignant hymn.

“When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more/And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair,” Jordan sings before being Myrick joins in with the refrain. “When the saved of Earth shall gather over on the other shore/And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.”

At the end of the video, Jordan is heard saying: "Been baptized 13 times, just to make sure I’m going to be there."

Some of showbiz's biggest names have commented under the post, with Mark Wahlberg simply leaving a broken-hearted emoji.

Jordan's agent, David Shaul, confirmed that the actor had died in a statement to Rolling Stone: "Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times.

"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."

As reported by the Los Angeles Times, Jordan was behind the wheel of a BMW when he crashed into the side of a building in Hollywood at around 9:30AM. Jordan was pronounced dead at the scene.
