Just moments ago in Nashville, Denise Jackson, wife of country music legend Alan Jackson, shared exciting news that fans have been hoping to hear for years: Alan is preparing for a new tour—one that could take him back to the stage in a way no one expected.
“He’s been working quietly, building back his strength,” Denise said. “The plan was to announce the tour next month. He’s been rehearsing, writing, dreaming again.”
But then… something unexpected happened.
According to Denise, just this morning, Alan walked into their kitchen, sat down with his coffee, and said with a quiet smile,
“I think I’m ready now. Really ready.”
It was a moment she hadn’t seen in a long time—a light in his eyes that had faded in recent years, especially as he faced the slow progression of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, the degenerative nerve condition that has affected his balance, mobility, and energy since he first revealed it to the public in 2021.
“He hadn’t said those words in months,” she continued. “And when he did… I knew something had shifted. Not just physically, but in his spirit.”
The upcoming tour—which insiders say will focus on intimate venues, personal stories, and stripped-down versions of his most beloved hits—was originally meant to launch quietly, without fanfare. But after this morning’s revelation, there may be more to come than fans dared hope for.
“He’s not just preparing for a tour,” Denise said. “He’s preparing to feel alive again.”
Though no official dates have been released, the buzz around Nashville is growing. Friends close to the Jackson family say that Alan has written several new songs that reflect on this chapter of his life—songs about aging, healing, and holding on to the things that matter most.
And the most unexpected part? He might perform one of them for the very first time… live.
For fans who have loved Alan Jackson through every season—who slow danced to “Remember When,” drove with “Chattahoochee” blasting through the windows, and found comfort in “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)”—this news isn’t just about a tour.
It’s about a man choosing hope again. Choosing to sing again. Choosing us again.
