Why Last Call?

In September of 2021, Alan Jackson announced that he had been diagnosed with a disease he called CMT. This is what he said about it.

“I’ve been reluctant to talk about this publicly and to my fans, but I have this neuropathy – a neurological disease that’s genetic that I inherited from my daddy,” Jackson shared on The Today Show to Jenna Bush Hager. “There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years and it’s getting more and more obvious.”

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disorder’s and symptoms are similar to muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease. Jackson was really concerned that his fan might think he was intoxicated. He didn’t want that so he came forward so he could explain and do one final tour. This is what he said about that.

“I know I’m stumbling around onstage, and now I’m having a little trouble balancing even in front of a microphone. I’m just very uncomfortable. I was starting to get so self-conscious up there…so if anybody’s curious why I don’t walk right, that’s why. I just wanted the fans and the public to know. I don’t want ’em to think I’m drunk onstage because I’m having problems with mobility and balance.”
