Alan Jackson — A Living Legend in Country Music

But behind the scenes, Alan has been quietly battling a progressive illness that could end his touring career sooner than expected.In a recent emotional appearance, Alan Jackson revealed that he has been struggling with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT)—a degenerative nerve condition he was diagnosed with more than a decade ago. The disease affects the nerves in his arms and legs, impacting balance, coordination, and muscle strength.
Alan Jackson’s “Last Call: One More for the Road Tour” was initially announced as a celebration of his career—a farewell tour of sorts that allowed him to connect one last time with fans across the United States. The tour was met with excitement, with tickets selling out in minutes and fans flocking from all over to hear him live.
However, behind the joyful music and standing ovations was a man battling his own limitations. Alan confessed that performing night after night has become more physically exhausting than ever before.
