From Yahoo News: May 17 marked Alan Jackson’s last stop on his current tour — which is going to be his last.

“Y’all may have heard that I’m kinda winding down, and in fact this is my last road show of my career,” Jackson, 66, said in front of a roaring Milwaukee crowd.

“Y’all gonna make me tear up out here. 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. It just felt like I had to end it all where it all started. And that’s in Nashville, Tennessee, Music City,” he continued, adding, “so I gotta do the last one there.”

In September 2021, Jackson went public with a medical condition that he’s been dealing with for years. He has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which is described by the Mayo Clinic as causing nerve damage that affects the arms and legs.

Jackson has explained that his condition is related to muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease, and affects his balance, making it difficult to move around on the stage.
