Introduction
Country music icon Alan Jackson, a Georgia native from Newnan, has officially played his last show on his “Last Call: One More for the Road Tour.”
After a 40-year journey in music, Jackson, 66, announced that the show on May 17 would be his last on tour—ever.
The tour began in 2022 and continued through May 2025. The decision to tour one last time came despite his ongoing battle with a chronic neuropathy condition, which he first revealed in 2021.
Will Alan Jackson ever perform again?
In addition to the final show of his tour, Jackson made a special announcement during the May 17 concert: he will return to Nashville in the summer of 2026 for one final performance.
The exact date and location for the show will be revealed at a later time.
What is Alan Jackson’s health condition?
For over a decade, Jackson has battled Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an illness that has affected his ability to move and stay balanced on stage.
In a 2021 interview with the “TODAY” show’s Jenna Bush Hager, Jackson said he inherited the disease from his father, and it has affected several members of his family.
He was diagnosed with the disease in 2011.
What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease? What are the symptoms?
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease causes a range of sensory and motor symptoms, including numbness, tingling, pain, muscle weakness and atrophy — deterioration in cells, tissues, and organs. The disease can also cause foot deformities that worsen over time.
In some cases, the disease can affect the nerves that control automatic body functions, leading to problems with sweating and dizziness.
Muscle weakness from the disease typically begins in the feet and lower legs during the teen years or early adulthood, though symptoms can appear at any age, reported the institute. Over time, the weakness may spread to the fingers, hands, and arms. Some individuals with CMT might be unaware they have the condition, while others may experience physical disabilities.
