Country music bids a bittersweet farewell to one of its most enduring voices as Alan Jackson announces his final concert will take place in Nashville next summer. The "Chattahoochee" singer, beloved for his traditional sound and relatable lyrics, is stepping back from touring due to his ongoing battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition he revealed in 2021.

While his "Last Call: One More for the Road" tour recently wrapped, Jackson confirmed that Music City will host his ultimate stage curtain call. It's a fitting full circle moment for an artist who arrived in Nashville with little more than a dream and a U-Haul, going on to become one of the best-selling and most respected figures in the genre.

Jackson's career boasts a staggering 34 No. 1 hits, two Grammy Awards, and inductions into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. His impact is immeasurable, as he consistently "kept it country" even as the industry shifted, influencing countless artists with his authentic storytelling and classic honky-tonk sound. From the poignant "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" to the playful "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," Jackson's songs are woven into the fabric of country music.

So, mark your calendars for 2026. It's one last chance to tip your hat to a true country legend. We'll miss him on the road, but his timeless tunes will surely keep us "Livin' on Love" for years to come.
