In a moment that left country music fans heartbroken, Alan Jackson tearfully discussed how his health may force him to step away from touring. The Grammy-winning artist, whose rich baritone voice defined a generation of country music, revealed the increasing difficulties caused by his Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Jackson explained that while he’s managed his CMT diagnosis for years, the neurological disorder has progressively worsened. Simple movements on stage have become challenging, and the physical demands of touring now leave him exhausted. His current “Last Call Tour,” initially planned as a victory lap through his greatest hits, has become an emotional journey as he faces his limitations.
The country icon, known for his down-to-earth personality, moved audiences with his vulnerability. Between discussing his condition, Jackson reflected on his incredible career – from writing heartfelt ballads to creating rowdy anthems that became country classics.
Though he didn’t rule out occasional performances, Jackson hinted this might be his last major tour. Fans worldwide are now cherishing each show, knowing they’re witnessing a living legend give his all despite personal struggles.
