In a candid interview with “Today” show anchor Jenna Bush Hager in September 2021, country music icon Alan Jackson revealed that he had been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease more than ten years earlier.
“I have neurological disease and neuropathy. My father passed it down to me genetically. That has bothered me for years, and there is no remedy.”
“And it’s growing clearer by the day. And I’m conscious that I’m stumbling on stage. I’m having trouble balancing now, even in front of the microphone, and I’m simply feeling nervous,” he clarified.
