"I've been touring for over 30 years - my daughters are all grown, we have one grandchild and one on the way... and I'm enjoying spending more time at home," he continued. "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."

Another wrote, "Alan Jackson is performing a concert at Bud Walton Arena on September 28th?! Take all my money & let's lay rubber on the Georgia asphalt.Three years after he bid farewell to #Dallas, Alan Jackson will say so long to Fort Worth."
Yet another wrote, "What a wondeful news. God willing we'll be in Fort Worth in February with you. A cordial greeting from Spain and take good care of yourself, Mr. Jackson."
Previously, Jackson opened up about having Charcot-Marie-Tooth. It's a hereditary disorder that affects a person's nerves. Over time, they loose sensation in their limbs. "I have this neuropathy and neurological disease," He 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."
Jackson opened up about the irony of having a disease abbreviated CMT. "I've been reluctant to talk about this publicly and to my fans,"he said. The disease also affected other family members. "It's called CMT, ironically enough, because CMT was a big part of my career."
