Country music legend Alan Jackson, 62, has revealed his diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a genetic nerve condition affecting balance and muscle strength.
He plans to continue his music career, acknowledging the hurdles ahead. CMT, inherited from his family, isn’t life-threatening but can lead to other health issues. Jackson’s impact on country music is significant, with over 43.5 million albums sold in the U.S. Jackson’s diagnosis is a setback, but his determination and the support of fans and fellow artists shine through. He stands as a beacon of resilience in the face of adversity.
