Alan Jackson Plays Final Show at Nissan Stadium
From becoming a girl-grandad to playing his last major show, this year has been full of big moments for Alan Jackson.
On June 27 in Nashville, Tennessee, Jackson played a massive concert at Nissan Stadium titled Last Call: One More For The Road – The Finale. Onstage, Jackson welcomed several talented guests, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, George Strait, and many others.
The 67-year-old country singer was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition that affects balance and movement, about five years ago. In an interview with Today, Jackson spoke about how the disease can sometimes affect his performance onstage. The singer chose to donate $1 from every ticket sold to his final show to the CMT Research Foundation, which is working to find a cure for this condition.
If you missed this exciting night, not to worry. As Jackson revealed in an Instagram announcement, ‘Alan Jackson: The Last Show’ will be available to watch on NBC later this year and on Peacock the next day.
