Alan Jackson Can’t Stand As Long As He Used To, But He Still Stands For America

Alan Jackson’s goodbye era has made every performance feel more urgent.
THE BODY HAS SLOWED DOWN, BUT THE MUSIC NEVER LEFT.

Alan has been open about living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition that affects his balance and mobility. It has made standing and performing harder with time. 

But Alan still shows up when the moment matters.

After that, fans expect Alan to finally take the rest he has earned, spending more quiet time with Denise, the wife who has stood beside him through fame, illness, family, and farewell.

And that’s not all…

Even while stepping away from touring, Alan is still using his voice for something bigger.
