After three decades of entertaining fans on the road, country music star Alan Jackson has officially retired from touring. The 66-year-old legend took the stage one last time at the Fiserv Forum on Saturday, May 17, bringing an end to his Last Call: One More for the Road tour.

"It's been a long, sweet ride," Jackson told the packed arena, his voice filled with emotion. "I appreciate it. Y'all gonna make me tear up out here." He continued, "It started 40 years ago this September. My wife and I drove to Nashville with an old U-Haul trailer and chased this dream. It's been a crazy ride. I lived the American dream, for sure. So blessed. Thank you all so much for all your support of my music and attending my shows."

Jackson's retirement comes nearly four years after he revealed he'd been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a hereditary affliction that affects his nerves and makes it harder for him to perform, he's determined to leave the stage on his own terms.

Despite his diagnosis, Jackson has continued to tour and perform, including a show in Atlanta on February 19, 1991, and at the 60th ACM Awards in Frisco, Texas, on May 8, 2025. He's also been open about his struggles with the disease, acknowledging that it's "going to disable me eventually."

Although Jackson is hanging up his touring boots, he's not quite done yet. He teased plans for one final show in a special place during his Milwaukee performance. "We're planning on doing a big finale show in Nashville next summer sometime. I just felt like I had to end it all where it all started, and that's in Nashville, Tennessee," he told fans from the stage, reflecting on the city's importance to his career and country music as a whole. "I've got to do my last one there. But this is the last one out on the road for me."

Jackson's performance in Milwaukee comes a few weeks after he performed his hit "Remember When" at the 2025 ACM Awards on May 8. During the ceremony, he was also the first recipient of the Alan Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award.
