Country music legend Alan Jackson has announced the end of his time on stage amid an ongoing health battle.
The 66-year-old singer is in the middle of his farewell tour, “Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale,” and revealed that his final performance will take place in Nashville at Nissan Stadium on June 27, 2026.
Jackson said he couldn’t “think of a better place to put on a big show and give the fans a finale than in” the city that made him a household name for country lovers.
“We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started for me, and that’s in Nashville – Music City – where country music lives,” he told People Magazine in a statement.
The “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” singer-songwriter added, “It’s been a long road… and it’s taken me places I never imagined.”
Jackson teased that he will be accompanied in his final performance by “so many special friends.”
Some of country’s most iconic acts will participate in next summer’s sendoff, including Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Keith Urban.
For 15 years, Jackson has struggled with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, an inherited nerve disorder that has slowly spread and affected his ability to sing and stand for hours on stage.
Half of every dollar made in ticket sales will be donated to the CMT Research Foundation, Jackson said, which is “investing in innovative research to find treatments and cures for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.”
According to the foundation, CMT symptoms can encompass “numbness, sensory loss, muscle weakness/atrophy and nerve degeneration.”
“Symptoms may begin as early as birth or during adulthood, and they become gradually worse over time,” the organization states.
Knowledge of CMT has been around since 1886, when it was first discovered by doctors Jean-Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth. There is no known cure.
Jackson shocked fans in September 2021 when he revealed he suffered from CMT, saying he had to let “the fans and the public … know what’s going on.”
“I don’t want them to think I’m drunk on stage because I’m having problems with mobility and balance. I have this neuropathy, neurological disease I inherited from my daddy,” he explained at the time, the Daily Mail reported.
He had “been reluctant to talk about this publicly, but it’s been a while, and it’s starting to affect my performance on stage a little bit where I don’t feel comfortable.”
Tickets for the Chattahoochee artist’s final concert go on sale Oct. 17, which will be Jackson’s 67th birthday.
