“The Last Call: One More for the Road Tour serves as just that — one final chance for people to see and hear the iconic singer-songwriter perform his best-loved songs — music that’s been the soundtrack of their lives — in concert,” the press release stated.

Will Alan Jackson Ever Perform Again?
The press release announcing the 2024 and 2025 shows left that question hanging, calling it an “initial list” of possible dates. Jackson has announced no further plans in public so far.
However, it would be unusual for a star as big as Jackson to wrap his career in a city like Milwaukee, so it seems more likely that the Hall of Famer will eventually announce a high-profile show in Nashville as a final farewell to his fans.
Why Is Alan Jackson Retiring?
Alan Jackson has been dealing with an ongoing health issue for more than a decade.
The country icon revealed in 2021 that he had been living with a degenerative nerve condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which causes nerve damage, primarily in the arms and legs.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease can cause muscle contractions and a loss of sensation, and make walking difficult.
Jackson also cited family concerns as a reason to step away from the live stage; his daughters are all grown now, and he and his wife, Denise, have two grandchildren.
“… I’m enjoying spending more time at home,” he stated. “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.”
Jackson previously announced what many assumed would be his final tour dates in 2022, but did not complete the tour due to his health issues.
Is Alan Jackson Dying?
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is not fatal, and it does not decrease life expectancy, according to the Mayo Clinic. But there is no known cure for the illness, which is inherited. Jackson’s grandmother, father and one of his sisters all lived with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Will Alan Jackson Ever Release More New Music?
The Country Music Hall of Famer shared his optimism about new music with his daughter Mattie during an interview on her In-Joy Life podcast in 2023.
“Well, yes. I would hope so,” he said (quote via People). “I mean, I may not have toured much, but like I said, the creative part jumps out every now and then. I’m always scribbling down ideas and thinking about melodies, and I feel like there’ll be some more music to come, yes.”
Country Stars Who Are Living With Serious Health Conditions
Carly Pearce, Mark Chesnutt and Colt Ford have all made headlines recently for serious medical problems, but they are not the only country stars living with chronic illness.

After selling their spectacular Southern manor home in 2010, Alan Jackson and his wife moved to to what might be an even more impressive mansion, if that’s even possible. Their 5-bedroom, 8-bathroom, 22,012-square-foot estate in the same Nashville suburb of Franklin features bedrooms that are all well-appointed suites, while the formal dining and living areas are finished off with splendid arched doorways, oversized windows and elaborate woodwork. The residence also includes a bar, a media room and multiple indoor and outdoor fireplaces. It sold for $19 million in March of 2021.
