“I’ll keep singing as long as I can…” Alan Jackson — the man with the cowboy hat and a voice that could ease even the hardest days — has been quietly battling Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a rare neurological condition that affects muscle strength and coordination, gradually weakening his legs and hands. He didn’t hide it, nor did he complain. Instead, Alan chose to share his journey honestly with his fans, while still going on tour, still stepping on stage — even if sometimes he had to lean on the microphone stand to stay steady. Those final performances became something truly special: moments where people didn’t just listen to music — they witnessed courage in its purest form.
