Alan Jackson’s Recent Concert Was Shut Down After He Called On The Crowd To “Climb Over Them Fences”
Country music icon Alan Jackson performed at the Two Step Inn music festival in Georgetown, Texas, on Saturday (April 5). It was one of the last remaining shows on Jackson’s schedule this year and, perhaps, ever.
Alan has been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). The condition has affected him for years. As he told TODAY in 2021:
“…itâs getting more and more obvious. And I know Iâm stumbling around on stage. And now Iâm having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable. And I just want people to know thatâs why I look like I do, if theyâre wonderingâ¦itâs just gonna disable me eventually.”
Before his condition gets any worse, Alan decided to embark on one more tour. His team said that his soon-to-conclude Last Call tour would mark “the last time he’ll ever perform his more-than-30 years of hits in [certain cities] and [their] surrounding areas.”
It seems like Alan may perform some in the future, but he’ll avoid full-scale touring as he takes care of himself and spends more time with his family.
Since his show at the Two Step Inn could likely be one of his last, Alan wanted to make it a memorable night. As he sang “Good Time,” he encouraged the audience to push past the security barricades and dance the night away.
“Climb over them fences and dance up and down these aisles,” he said, adding, “I donât care. Letâs have a good time.”
But concert security did care. They temporarily shut the show down while they ushered the audience back into their designated area. Alan apologized to the crowd when he returned, saying, “Sorry, y’all. I was just wantinâ to have a good time.”
Alan Jackson Thanks His Two Step Inn Audience
Following his Two Step Inn performance, Alan took to social media to thank his audience for making the show unforgettable. He wrote:
“@twostepinn sure knew how to live that honky-tonk dream with us this weekend! Thanks for making it one to remember!”
