Alan Jackson to Bid Farewell with Final Nashville Concert
Nashville, January 7, 2026 – Country music icon Alan Jackson, who revealed his diagnosis with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in 2021, is set to perform his last full-length concert on June 27, 2026, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The event, titled “Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale,” will feature an all-star lineup of fellow artists and marks the end of his touring career after over three decades.
Jackson’s Health Journey and Retirement Decision
Jackson, 67, first publicly discussed his Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease—a genetic nerve condition affecting balance and mobility—during a 2021 interview on the Today show. Diagnosed a decade earlier, the disease has progressively impacted his ability to perform on stage, leading him to announce the conclusion of his “Last Call: One More for the Road” tour in May 2025. He emphasized that the condition is not fatal but has made touring increasingly challenging, prompting his decision to focus on family and health.
The singer-songwriter, known for hits like “Chattahoochee” and “Drive (For Daddy Gene),” expressed gratitude for his career while noting the desire to spend more time at home with his grown daughters and grandchildren. His final show promises a “big finale” in Music City, where his journey began, and will benefit the CMT Research Foundation to support research for the disease.
