Alan Jackson postpones upcoming weekend concerts to deal with ‘health issues’

Alan Jackson postponed a pair of upcoming shows this weekend in Pittsburgh and Atlantic City, N.J., citing health concerns.

On Tuesday, the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh and the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City posted on social media that the country musician is “dealing with health issues” stemming from Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

According to the Mayo Clinic , Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is an inherited neurological condition that causes nerve damage mostly in the arms and legs and results in smaller, weaker muscles. People with this condition may experience loss of sensation, muscle contractions and difficulty walking. There is no cure for the disease, but it is usually not life-threatening.

“I hoped I’d be able to be there; I hate to disappoint my fans,” Jackson wrote on his website . “I tried as much as I could to play this show at this time.”

Jackson has not scheduled a return date for his tour, but ticket holders for the postponed concerts were advised to hold on to their tickets because they will be honored for an unannounced date in 2023.

In 2021, the Country Music Hall of Fame member told NBC’s “Today” show that he has been living with the disease for longer than a decade and that it has started affecting his balance.

Implicit in the name of Alan Jackson’s current road show, the Keepin’ It Country tour, is the idea that this veteran country star is engaged in some resistance.

Feb. 28, 2015

“I have this neuropathy and neurological disease,” Jackson said on the NBC morning show. “It’s genetic that I inherited from my daddy … There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years, and it’s getting more and more obvious. I know I’m stumbling around on stage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable.

“It’s not going to kill me. It’s not deadly,” Jackson clarified. “But it’s related [to] muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease.”

At the time, Jackson said he had no plans to stop touring, but that it might affect his availability.

“I never wanted to do the big retirement tour, like people do, then take a year off and then come back,” Jackson said. “I think that’s kinda cheesy. And I’m not saying I won’t be able to tour. I’ll try to do as much as I can.”

The 63-year-old singer paid tribute to a fellow country music icon Loretta Lynn , who died at 90 years old on Tuesday, by taking to social media to join the chorus of remembrances for the coal miner’s daughter .

Oct. 4, 2022

“Sweet Loretta Lynn, there will never be another Honky Tonk girl like you. I’m gonna miss you,” Jackson captioned his Facebook post that featured photos of the two legends embracing.

On Tik Tok , Jackson shared a video of a phone call he shared with Lynn, in which they exchanged messages of love and admiration.

“I love you so much,” Lynn said to Jackson.

“I love you too, you’re the sweetest thing,” Jackson replied. “You’re such a legend in this business ... you mean a lot to a lot of people.”

The two ended their call on a light note, with Lynn joking, “I told my girlfriend, I told her, I said you was my boyfriend but you didn’t know it.”

Jackson happily reacted by saying, “I’m glad to be.”

Alan Jackson Postpones Upcoming Shows Because Of 'Health Issues'

Alan Jackson has postponed his remaining 2022 tour dates until next year.

The legendary country artist will reschedule the final two shows of the year — which were slated for Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — because he’s “dealing with some health issues related to his neurological condition,” Atlantic City’s Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall confirmed in a tweet . Pittsburgh-based PPG Paints Arena added : “Alan is dealing with health issues related to the neurological condition (Charcot-Marie-Tooth or CMT). Organizers plan to reschedule, all tickets will be honored for future show date.”

Jackson was set to perform at those venues on Friday (October 7) and Saturday (October 8), respectively. Jackson’s website notes that the shows have been postponed; however, the site has not been updated with the new dates as of publication time on Thursday (October 6). Mayo Clinic describes Charcot-Marie-Tooth as “a group of inherited disorders that cause nerve damage,” often in the arms and legs. Some symptoms include weakness in the legs, frequent tripping or falling and more. 

Jackson announced the “Last Call: One More for the Road” Tour earlier this year, marking his first one since he revealed last fall  that he has the chronic inherited neuropathy condition that impacts his muscle function and balance.

“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,” Jackson said in a statement at that time. “I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow,” he said, adding with a smile, “I’ll try to do as much as I can, but if I’m comin’ your way, come see me….”

Alan Jackson Announces ‘Last Call’ Tour (But Not ‘Final’ One)

Trigger News Alan Jackson --> 17 Comments

Don’t call it a farewell tour or a final bow, because Alan Jackson isn’t. But after openly addressing some health issues recently, the Country Music Hall of Famer is being honest with his fans about his prospects for touring in the future, and how he many not be doing it forever. So just call it “Last Call: One More For The Road,” and hope that it’s not the very end. In September of 2021, Alan Jackson revealed that he’s been suffering from a degenerative nerve condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, nicknamed (somewhat ironically) CMT. He was diagnosed with the condition ten years ago. It primarily affects the peripheral nervous system causing balance issues by compromising smaller muscles in the body’s extremities. It’s related to muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease. The good news is that the disease is not life threatening, nor does it affect longevity. But it does affect things like balance and your ability to move. Alan Jackson wanted to reveal the condition, just in case people saw him swerving on stage and thought he’d indulged in a few too many gin & tonics. He’s also been performing lately while sitting on a stool. Alan Jackson said at the time, “I never wanted to do the big retirement tour, like people do, then take a year off and then come back. I think that’s kinda cheesy. And I’m not saying I won’t be able to tour. I’ll try to do as much as I can. I feel a little more freedom now, because I’m not trying to worry about getting on the radio and fitting into their limitations. I’ve always believed that the music is the most important thing. The songs. And I guess that’s what I’d like to (leave) if I had a legacy.” So Alan Jackson has announced sixteen new concert dates for 2022, including a date at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix originally booked for 2020 that has been rescheduled multiple times. “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,”  Jackson says. “I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow. I’ll try to do as much as I can, but if I’m comin’ your way, come see me….” TOUR DATES:

Friday, June 24 – Biloxi, MS (Mississippi Coast Coliseum) Saturday, June 25 – Knoxville, TN (Thompson-Boling Arena) Friday, July 29 – St. Paul, MN (Xcel Energy Center) Saturday, July 30 – Grand Forks, ND (Alerus Center) Friday, August 12 – Savannah, GA (Enmarket Arena) ** Saturday, August 13 – Greenville, SC (Bon Secours Wellness Arena) ** Friday, August 26 – Lincoln, NE (Pinnacle Bank Arena) Saturday, August 27 – Kansas City, MO (T-Mobile Center) Friday, September 9 – Lexington, KY (Rupp Arena) Saturday, September 10 – Greensboro, NC (Greensboro Coliseum) Friday, September 16 – Austin, TX (Moody Center) Saturday, September 17 – Dallas, TX (American Airlines Center) Friday, September 30 – Phoenix (Glendale), AZ (Gila River Arena) ++ Saturday, October 1 – Anaheim, CA (Honda Center) Friday, October 7 – Atlantic City, NJ (Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall) Saturday, October 8 – Pittsburgh, PA (PPG Paints Arena)

**   On Sale Date to Be Announced ++   Rescheduled concert from 2020; tickets for previous events will be honored; new tickets available!

I sure hope it isn’t, but I can’t help but feel this might be it touring-wise for AJ. I’m getting tickets just in case this is really the last tour he does.

Would have loved to have seen him tour Europe! Hope he can keep touring as long as possible and doing what he loves, bringing real country music to the world.

So the tour name will continue to be “Last Call: One More for the Road” for all future tours, considering this won’t be his final tour.

Or will this tour have multiple legs spanning some 5 to 10 yrs?

I think one of Garth Brooks’ tours lasted 4 years, with obviously multiple legs throughout. Solely as a marketing ploy to be the most lucrative tour ever, even though it lasted 4 years

If that’s really a big concern of yours, relax. It’s highly unlikely that Alan Jackson will be touring in 5 to 10 years. He might even be deceased in 5 years–then you won’t have to worry about that at all!

Not a concern… just interested in how they are marketing it. Giving the tour name “Last Call” but stating it’s not the final tour is perplexing.

It would be cool if they had multiple legs to this specific tour – Alan could have the most successful tour in the history books if this tour lasts for years (similar to what Garth did from 2014 – 2018)

You figured it out. By naming his tour “Last Call,” they plan to turn Alan Jackson into Michael Jackson. They’re looking to have the biggest, most successful tour in history. Just Alan–mostly seated on a stool–and his band. They’ll fill the Superdome and Astros Dome and Met Life Stadium and Wembley, and the Olympic Stadium in Beijing.

Good thing you’ve exposed the scam.

Also, Alan’s health issue isn’t life threatening. He can live another 30+ yrs.

Well people change their mind all the time. A few years ago George strait said he was retiring from touring and look at how that turned out. I think the name and the fact there are few shows and how they are spaced tell you that there are going to be fewer tours and shows going forward. Plus just because something isn’t life threatening doesn’t make it easy to live with. So that last show or tour may not be known til after the fact

My wife suffers from the same condition. She is in constant pain and her mobility has deteriorated over the years.

I had seen this already. I already signed up for his fan club just so I have a better shot at getting tickets. I don’t think this will be his last but he’s probably my all time favorite and I’ve never seen him, so I want to go. Because of his condition and if it gets any worse, you never know. Also the tour is really spread out for as few dates it has so you can tell he’s not going to push it. No shows really close to me but I’m gonna try to go to the Knoxville show.

Got my tickets, pretty good ones. Ended up getting 4. The youngest wanted to go back to smoky mountains so going to kill two birds with one stone so to speak, a little mini vacation. I see how all these shows sell out tickets so fast though. I got mine through the Alan Jackson fan club site code but there were at least 3 or 4 others type things like that all having presales. Heck time seats go on sale for general audience, you either going to have no tickets or the most expensive or furthest away. And lots of those are being bought up for resale. Between that and the fees you have to pay, it’s kind of rediculous. I won’t do it for lesser artist but it’s worth it for Alan or George.

What a sad reflection on country radio when someone like Alan Jackson says he doesn’t worry about getting on it anymore.

As the owner of a small handful of classic country FMs, I can say he doesn’t have to worry about getting on my stations. Jackson is one of the very few artists we play new music from.

Yea it’s sad when a guy like Alan basically gives up on radio. There are a few guys through my life when I see or listen to them, they are just the picture of country music. It’s nothing negative against some others, and I’m not saying a lot of others aren’t that. Some just have a little more shine. Alan is one of those. He’s had songs on these last two albums that are as good as any he has ever done but no radio play to speak of. But maybe he can embrace that better now and instead of chasing hits, just write and play what he wants to do.

I don’t care for where commercial country music has gone, but artists in their 60s–like Alan is–have never gotten airplay for their new releases in the history of country music, save for maybe a one-shot her or there or a duet with a current “major leaguer”–a la Willie Nelson with Toby Keith in 2002

Yea I agree with you for most part though a lot of those tended to go down in quality. I loved Hank Jr for a long time but as he got older, some of his stuff wasn’t as good. A good few like that but others still made great stuff but the industry moved on. I feel it’s a shame cause some of those guys still have lots to give. It’s a shame some radio station hasn’t jumped on it. Stations either play the current stuff or a few play older music but don’t tend to play any of the new stuff by those older guys.

Saw him play in Columbus in 2019, nice date night with the wife, had good floor seats in an arena, but found myself watching the huge video screens more than watching a live band play. Alan was sitting for most of it, no crowd engagement, and yes I bought the shirt. Not what I would describe as a dynamic performance but he’s still one of the best. Glad I went when I had the chance.

That’s exactly why I would want to see j. I don’t want all that rowdiness and such. George straight was pretty much the same way and he was great. Just the man and his music.

Alan Jackson Scheduled One Final Tour Due To His Health, But Then He Disappeared

Alan Jackson revealed his severe health condition, hosted a final tour series, and then disappeared from the spotlight.

• Alan Jackson revealed his battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a genetic health condition that affects his ability to perform on stage.
• Despite his health condition, Alan Jackson embarked on a final tour in 2022 to meet his fans and raise awareness for CMT.
• Alan Jackson and his family are committed to supporting CMT research, donating proceeds from his tour to the CMT Research Foundation in hopes of finding a cure for the rare disease.

Two-time Grammy Award winner and country music legend Alan Jackson has been in the music scene for over three decades. He has released iconic chart-topping songs like "Chattahoochee," "I'll Go on Loving You," "Small Southern Man," "Living on Love," "Remember When," and "Gone Country," among others. He has equally delighted fans with unforgettable live performances, keeping the heart of country music going.

However, Alan Jackson had to rein in his music activities due to his health. In an exclusive interview in 2021, Alan Jackson revealed the health condition he had kept for so long. The illness was a massive hit for the country singer, but he did not let it stop him from performing. But it seems since his last concert tour, Alan Jackson has kept a low profile.

Alan jackson has been quiet about his health after his last tour, alan jackson's health problems led to one final tour.

Two-time Grammy winner Alan Jackson didn’t want his health to slow him down, even if he had Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT for short) disease. As his symptoms were becoming irrepressible, the country singer decided to give one last tour to his fans.

Alan Jackson's Last Call: One More for the Road tour was the country singer’s way of meeting his fans . However, he didn't want to call it a farewell tour.

"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," Jackson says. "I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow. I’ll try to do as much as I can, but if I’m comin’ your way, come see me…"

The concert was held from the summer of 2022 until the end of October. Jackson toured more than four states and gave a performance that would be remembered forever. But the singer — and his fans — are still hoping to tour. No new dates have been scheduled as of 2023.

However, after the tour, not much was heard of Alan White. In November 2022, Alan Jackson received the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 Country Music Awards , a place Alan Jackson once faked a performance on the CMA stage .

It was an emotional time for the singer, seeing how he was battling his disease, especially with several unconfirmed sources reporting that Jackson was hospitalized in 2022.

Alan jackson suffers from a genetic health condition, alan jackson has been dealing with his health issues in private.

Knowing he could not hide the signs anymore, Alan Jackson revealed in September 2021 what was wrong with his health . He had Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which is also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy.

The illness occurs when nutated genes affect the peripheral nerves that control the limbs — arms, hands, legs, and feet — which is a shame because the iconic country singer would find it difficult to perform on stage due to weakened muscles.

It was heartbreaking when Alan Jackson revealed to TODAY how his health condition would deteriorate .

"I have this neuropathy and neurological disease," Jackson said. "It's genetic that I inherited from my daddy...There's no cure for it, but it's been affecting me for years. And it's getting more and more obvious. And I know I'm stumbling around on stage. And now I'm having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable."

The country singer knew his time on stage was limited after being diagnosed with the illness a decade long before his reveal.

However, the Country Music Hall of Fame member didn’t let the disease slow his music aspirations. He continued with a tour in 2022, and even though he canceled two dates from his schedule due to COVID-19, he assured his fans that he was all right.

One of the things Alan Jackson can count on is the support of his family. During his acceptance speech for his CMA Lifetime Achievement Award, Jackson thanked his wife for staying with him in the toughest times.

"We started out as teenagers, and she’s hung in there and rode this roller-coaster ride with me for 40-something years now," the "Living on Love" singer said. "I'm probably not always the easiest person to love, but she’s hung in there and helped me through hard times, and we’ve shared great times. The good and the bad, the happy and the sad. We’ve survived a lot."

With his family, Alan Jackson helps to create awareness for CMT, donating and sharing experiences about it.

Alan Jackson Raises Awareness For Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

After keeping his life private, alan jackson decided to go public.

Alan Jackson originally hid his health condition to protect his privacy . He had been managing his disease for more than a decade before he finally revealed what his health issue was and how it would affect his life.

His wife and daughter have been supporting him, but he found more support trying to get CMT more publicity because it is a rare disease. The Last Call Tour was also a reason for this.

The CMT Research Foundation announced a collaboration with Alan Jackson . $1 from every ticket sold for the Last Call: One More for the Road Tour was donated to the CMT Research Foundation, an organization that funds research for drug development. Additionally, a group of supporters and board members matched dollar-for-dollar ticket buyers’ donations.

"This support is certain to shine a light on this inherited disease and help accelerate the rate at which we can fund the research that will result in an end to CMT," Cleary Simpson, CEO of the CMT Research Foundation said.

According to the CMT Research Foundation, CMT is estimated to affect about 150,000 people in the U.S., and almost three million people worldwide. There is yet to be a cure or any approved therapies for the disease.

While so much is yet to be made known concerning Alan Jackson's health condition, the country music icon has made it a note to do his best, whether helping with research or continuing with his music. When (or if) he can make a full recovery is yet to be known, but we wish the icon a swift recovery.

Alan Jackson Announces 2022 "Last Call" Tour

Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson just announced that he is taking a victory lap with Last Call: One More for the Round Tour . The “ Where Have You Gone ” singer is set to kick-off his run Friday, June 24, in Biloxi, Mississippi, and will conclude the 16-city trek in Pittsburg on October 8.

After 30 years in the industry, Jackson has produced an extensive catalog bursting with chart-topping hits. While out on the road, the hitmaker will be hitting popular arenas across America and will be performing his fan-favorite classics.

The Last Call: One More for the Round Tour serves as Jackson’s first outing since publicizing his rare diagnosis with Charcot- Marie-Tooth disorder. The degenerative nerve condition is not deadly, but it could affect mobility. The icon spoke out about his surprising condition with Today host Jenna Bush back in September.

“I have this neuropathy and neurological disease,” shared the Icon. “It’s genetic that I inherited from my daddy…There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years. And it’s getting more and more obvious. And I know I’m stumbling around on stage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable."

However, he has clarified that his underlining health condition will not stop him from pursuing his craft and connecting with fans.

“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,” shared Jackson in a previous statement. “I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow. I’ll try to do as much as I can, but if I’m comin’ your way, come see me….,” he added.

Tickets to see the three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year are currently available for presale only at alanjackson.com/tour . Tickets will go on sale on March 18. Through the Citi Entertainment program, Citi card members will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, March 15.

Jackson will be joining forces with CID Entertainment/ OnLocation to offer VIP experiences at his 2022 shows. $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the CMT Research Foundation.

Alan Jackson Will No Longer Perform at CMA Fest 2022

Sad news for Alan Jackson  fans: The country star is no longer part of the 2022  CMA Fest  lineup.

The CMA announced the news in a press release on Friday (June 3), including no further details about why Jackson can no longer play the event. He was previously scheduled to perform as a part of the festival's star-studded nightly concerts at Nashville's Nissan Stadium alongside Jason Aldean , Carrie Underwood , Keith Urban , Darius Rucker  and  Kelsea Ballerini , among others. Brothers Osborne and Old Dominion have now been added to this year's list of headliners, filling Jackson's empty time slot.

The unexpected cancellation comes just days prior to CMA Fest's June 9 kickoff, and three weeks before Jackson is still scheduled to kick off his 2022 Last Call: One More for the Road Tour . Although the 16-date trek hasn't formally been advertised as a farewell tour, it will likely be one of the last opportunities to catch Jackson live.

In 2021, the 63-year-old hitmaker revealed that he had been diagnosed with CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth), a chronic neuropathy condition that results in nerve deterioration and impacts muscle function, movement and balance. In an interview with  The Today Show , Jackson noted that the effects of the condition have made performing increasingly difficult.

"I have this neuropathy and neurological disease," Jackson explained. "It's genetic that I inherited from my daddy ... There's no cure for it, but it's been affecting me for years. And it's getting more and more obvious. And I know I'm stumbling around on stage. And now I'm having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable."

Although Jackson has been open about his health condition, he's also voiced his determination to keep performing for fans as long as he possibly can.

"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," Jackson noted in a statement earlier this year. "I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow. I’ll try to do as much as I can, but if I’m comin’ your way, come see me."

Alan Jackson's 2022 One More for the Road Tour Dates:

June 24 - Biloxi, Miss. @ Mississippi Coast Coliseum June 25 - Knoxville, Tenn. @ Thompson-Boling Arena July 29 - St. Paul, Minn. @ Xcel Energy Center July 30 - Grand Forks, N.D. @ Alerus Center Aug. 12 - Savannah, Ga. @ Enmarket Arena Aug. 13 - Greenville, S.C. @ Bon Secours Wellness Arena Aug. 26 - Lincoln, Neb. @ Pinnacle Bank Arena Aug. 27 - Kansas City, Mo. @ T-Mobile Center Sept. 9 - Lexington, Ky. @ Rupp Arena Sept. 10 - Greensboro, N.C. @ Greensboro Coliseum Sept. 16 - Austin, Texas @ Moody Center Sept. 17 - Dallas, Texas @ American Airlines Center Sept. 30 - Glendale, Ariz. @ Gila River Arena Oct. 1 - Anaheim, Calif. @ Honda Center Oct. 7 - Atlantic City, N.J. @ Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall Oct. 8 - Pittsburgh, Penn. @ PPG Paints Arena

The T-Mobile Center says organizers intend to reschedule the concert date, and that those who purchased tickets for the original date will have them honored at the rescheduled date.

The show was part of his  Last Call: One More for the Road” Tour , which launched in June and runs through early October. At the time of publication, the Aug. 27 date is the only one postponed. Jackson’s next scheduled concert is on Sept. 9 in Lexington, Kentucky.

The tour marks Jackson’s first time on the road since revealing a health diagnosis last fall, when he told fans about his battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease , a degenerative nerve condition that impacts the peripheral nervous system and causes balance problems. $1 from every tour ticket sold was to be donated to the CMT Research Foundation, which funds research for Charcot-Marie-Tooth drug development.

“I have this neuropathy and neurological disease,” Jackson, who released the 21-track album  Where Have You Gone?  in 2021, said last year. “It’s genetic that I inherited from my daddy … There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years, and it’s getting more and more obvious. I know I’m stumbling around on stage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable. It’s not going to kill me. It’s not deadly.”
