Alan Jackson revealed to his fans that he has been battling a disease for years. On the ‘Today’ show on Tuesday, September 28, the 62-year-old country singer revealed that he has been suffering from a ‘no cure’ degenerative neurological condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease for the better part of a decade. “It’s not going to kill me,” she says. “The disease I inherited from my father isn’t fatal,” Jackson said. He went on to say, “But it’s related to muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease.” “I have this neuropathy and neurological disease..”
It has no cure, but it has been bothering me for years. And it’s becoming increasingly obvious. And I’m well aware that I’m stumbling around onstage. And now I’m having some difficulty balancing, even in front of the microphone, and I’m just feeling very uneasy,” Jackson continued. Jackson revealed that he was diagnosed with CMT ten years ago while speaking with Jenna from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Is Elton John OK?
