Alan Jackson Cancels CMT Fest Performance

Just days before the kickoff of CMA Fest, Alan Jackson has canceled his performance.

No details were given, but last year when he revealed his diagnosis with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, he said that it made performing increasingly difficult.

Alan has been open about his health condition and has also voiced his determination to keep performing for fans as long as he possibly can.

In the recent past, Alan talked about his neuropathy and neurological disease that he inherited from his dad.

“There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years. And it’s getting more and more obvious. And I know I’m stumbling around on stage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable.”

CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth) is a chronic neuropathy condition that results in nerve deterioration and impacts muscle function, movement, and balance.

Brothers Osborne and Old Dominion have now been added to fill the empty time slot on the CMA stadium stage.
