Alan Jackson Plans Final Curtain Call Amid Health Struggles

Country music icon Alan Jackson is saying goodbye to the road — and he’s doing it in true Nashville style.

The 66-year-old “Chattahoochee” hitmaker announced he’ll take the stage one last time for “Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale” on June 27, 2026, marking the official end of his touring career.

“It’s been a long road, and it’s taken me places I never imagined,” Jackson told People. “But I can’t think of a better place to give fans a finale than Nashville — where it all began.”

A Heartfelt Farewell

Jackson’s final concert will be a star-studded celebration featuring Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, and Lee Ann Womack, among others. Proceeds will go toward the CMT Research Foundation, which supports research into Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease — the condition that’s forced Jackson to step back from performing.

Battling a Rare Nerve Disorder

The country legend first revealed his diagnosis with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in 2021, though he was diagnosed a decade earlier. The inherited disorder affects the nerves in the arms and legs, gradually impacting balance and mobility.

“I don’t want fans thinking I’m drunk on stage,” Jackson said in an earlier interview. “It’s a neurological disease I got from my daddy. It’s not fatal, but it’s going to disable me eventually.”

He added, “I’ve been reluctant to talk about it, but it’s getting harder to hide. I just want people to know why I move the way I do.”

A Career That Defined an Era

Since breaking onto the scene in the early 1990s, Alan Jackson has become one of country music’s most beloved voices — blending traditional honky-tonk with heartfelt ballads like “Remember When,” “Livin’ on Love,” and “Drive.” Over three decades, he’s sold more than 75 million records and earned a spot in both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry.

Now, with one final show planned in the heart of Music City, Jackson says he’s ready to close the book with gratitude and grace.

“We just felt like we had to end it all where it started — in Nashville, where country music lives.”
