The star singer is preparing to head out on his farewell tour.
Alan Jackson performs onstage at The 56th Annual CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena on November 9, 2022 in Nashville, Tennessee. Just days after news broke that country music legend Alan Jackson had welcomed another grandchild into the world, the star created a social media stir on Monday by posting a photo with the newborn.“Denise and I are so happy to announce the arrival of our grandson Wesley Alan Smith,” he wrote while sharing of a photo with his wife, daughter and their new grandson on X.
“I’ve been touring for over 30 years, you know, played everywhere in the country and parts of the world,” the 65-year-old said in a video shared to X. “Have had a wonderful career, and getting into my twilight years, and all my daughters are grown, and I got one grandchild and one on the way. Enjoy spending more time at home, and don’t want to be away like I had to be in my younger days, and I don’t tour as much now as I did 10 years ago.
Jackson revealed in 2021 that he has Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a chronic neuropathy condition that effects a person’s balance and ability to walk. He also addressed that in the video posted to his account. “Most of my fans know I have a degenerative health condition that effects my legs and arms and my mobility that I got from my daddy and it’s getting worse,” he said. “So, it makes me more uncomfortable on stage, and I just have a hard time, and I just want to think about maybe calling it quits before I’m unable to do the job like I want to.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
