Y&#8217;all gonna make me tear up out here. But I will say, this is my last road show out here, but we&#8217;re planning on doing a big finale show in Nashville . . . It just felt like I had to end it all where it all started. And that&#8217;s in Nashville, Tennessee. Music City.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The crowd then gave him a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<p>He also reflected on his long career.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It started 40 years ago this September, my wife and I drove to Nashville in an old U-Haul trailer and chased this dream . . . It&#8217;s been a crazy ride. I lived the American dream for sure, and I&#8217;m so blessed and thank y&#8217;all all so much for your support for the music.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are some of Alan&#8217;s accomplishments: He&#8217;s one of the best-selling music artists of all-time, with 35 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot Country chart, he&#8217;s won two Grammys, 16 CMAs, and 17 ACMs, and he&#8217;s a member of the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>What a legendary career. End of an era, for sure. At least we get one more Nashville show to send him off in style. It&#8217;s in the works for next summer.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJ4WeC9ut45\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alan Jackson Is Officially Retiring, Says He Has One Show Left.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":21647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[195,62,2004,6316],"class_list":["post-32028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-alan-jackson","tag-nashville","tag-retire","tag-retiring"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 04:47:50","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2025\/05\/alan-jackson-is-officially-retiring\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32028"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32028\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32029,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32028\/revisions\/32029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
