In a heartbreaking announcement, the family of country music legend Alan Jackson revealed that he has collapsed while performing on stage. At the age of 66, Jackson is currently facing critical health issues related to respiratory problems, prompting an outpouring of concern and support from fans worldwide. Alan Jackson, known for his rich voice and heartfelt lyrics, has been a staple in the country music scene for decades.
Country superstar Alan Jackson revealed in an interview Tuesday that he has a degenerative nerve condition that affects his balance but he intends to keep performing.
“I know I’m stumbling around on stage,” he told Jenna Bush Hager. “And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable.”
The singer-songwriter from Newnan, Georgia, released a new album “Where Have You Gone” this year and he remains one of country music’s top male artists, with more than 43 million albums sold in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
The Country Music Hall of Famer’s best known hits include “Chattahoochee” and “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.”
Jackson has continued to tour despite the condition and says he wants to continue to perform as much as he can.
