Country music legend Alan Jackson performs final tour show in Milwaukee

Alan Jackson had a “Good Time” on the road for more than three decades of his life.

The country music legend is hanging up his cowboy hat for good, and performed his final tour show in Milwaukee, on Saturday.

At 66, Jackson revealed last year that he would step away from performing due to significant health challenges, launching his “Last Call: One More for the Road Tour” as his farewell.

In a video posted online, Jackson addressed the audience, saying, “You might have heard that I’m slowing down. In fact, this is my final tour of my career. Y’all are gonna make me emotional out here.”

Jackson added, “While this is my last tour on the road, we’re planning a grand finale show in Nashville next summer. It felt right to wrap things up where everything began—Nashville, Tennessee. But as for traveling, this is it for me.”

The “Chattahoochee” singer added, “It’s been a long, sweet ride. It started 40 years ago this September. My wife and I drove to Nashville with an ol’ UHaul trailer, and chased this dream. It’s been a crazy ride. I lived the American dream for sure. So blessed.”

Jackson’s representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Jackson kicked off the tour just one year after revealing his battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition that affects his motor skills. He was diagnosed in 2011.

“I have this neuropathy and neurological disease,” Jackson said during a “Today” show interview at the time. “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.”

The “Livin’ on Love” musician said he’s been “self-conscious” on stage because it’s affected his ability to balance, especially in front of a crowd and in front of the microphone.

“I know I’m stumbling around stage now,” he said. “I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone. I just feel very uncomfortable.

“In some ways it’s a relief [to talk about it] because I was starting to get so self-conscious up there about stumbling around. I think it’ll be good for me now to get it out in the open. If anybody’s curious at why I don’t walk right, that’s why.”

In 2023, the two-time Grammy Award winner opened up about his plans to release new music despite his personal setback. 

“I’m always scribbling down ideas and thinking about melodies… I feel like there’ll be some more music to come, yes,” Jackson said during an appearance on his daughter Mattie Jackson’s “In Joy Life” podcast.

“I may not have toured much, but again… like I said, the creative part jumps out every now and then,” Jackson said.

“[Writing songs] is more fulfilling than anything. It’s like, you can be a singer and go out and tour … but it’s kind of like you’re just doing the same thing over and over.”
