The happy news comes at an emotional time for the country star. Jackson is stepping away from full-scale touring after more than 40 years in music. His decision follows his ongoing battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a condition that affects nerves, balance and movement.
He first shared his diagnosis publicly in 2021, explaining how it has slowly made performing more difficult. Despite the challenges, Jackson continued touring to give fans a proper farewell.
Now, his journey on the road will officially end with one final concert on June 27, 2026, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, a place deeply tied to his career. The event, Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale, is expected to be a major celebration of his legacy, featuring top country stars.
Jackson has made it clear that this final show is personal. “We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started,” he said, pointing to Nashville as the heart of country music.

Married to Denise since 1979, he often credits her support as a key part of his success.
As the countdown to his last concert continues, fans are holding on to both the excitement and the nostalgia. Now, with a granddaughter in his arms and a final show on the horizon, Jackson is closing one chapter and opening another.
