Alan Jackson Extends His ‘Last Call’ Tour Amid Ongoing Health Battle


Alan Jackson announced that he Is extending his ‘Last Call’ tour amid his ongoing battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Jackson — who shares three daughters with his wife, Denise — kicked off the tour in 2022, playing to standing-room-only crowds in sold-out arenas coast-to-coast. Jackson noted that the disease doesn’t shorten life expectancy, but it can make movement difficult — especially for someone who is used to performing on stage every night. “I’ve always admired my heroes like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn and Charley Pride, who just played as much as they wanted to, as long as they could,” he said in a statement after the tour announcement.
