Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson has been touring for more than 30 years. Now, though, a degenerative nerve disorder is forcing him to get off the road for good. He kicked off his Last Call: One More for the Road Tour in 2022, giving his fans one last chance to see him live. Now, he’s looking to give more lucky fans that opportunity. The final leg of his farewell tour will kick off this summer.

In 2021, Jackson revealed that he received a diagnosis of Charcot Marie-Tooth Disorder. It’s a hereditary degenerative nerve condition that affects nerves in the extremities and the sensory and motor nerves. In short, it inhibits an individual’s control over their hands, arms, legs, and feet. As a result, the condition has forced Jackson into retirement.

Knowing that the forthcoming ten dates will be some of his last, Jackson plans to leave it all on the stage for his fans. “Fans know when they come to my shows, they’re going to hear the songs that made me who I am—the ones they love,” Jackson said in a statement. “I’ve been touring more over 30 years—my daughters are all grown, we have one grandchild and one on the way, and I’m enjoying spending more time at home,” he added. “But my fans always show up to have a good time, and I’m going to give them the best show I can for this Last Call.”
