“Y’all gonna make me tear up out here,” Alan said “But I will say, this is my last road show out here, but we’re planning on doing a big finale show in Nashville next summer sometime,” he announced. “It just felt like I had to end it all where it all started. And that’s in Nashville, Tennessee. Music City.”

Per Today, Alan Jackson opened up about Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. He inherited the condition from his father.
“It’s been affecting me for years, and it’s getting more and more obvious,” Alan Jackson said. “And I know I’m stumbling around on stage and now I’m having a little trouble balancing even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable, and I just want people to know that’s why I look like I do.”
