Country music veteran Alan Jackson has recently opened up to the media about his life with the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. On Tuesday, the 62-year-old told NBC’s “Today” that there is “no cure” for the degenerative neurological syndrome, which he’s battled for nearly a decade. The timeline of the diagnosis as he tells it has finally shed light on the beloved artist’s absence from the spotlight as of late. The “Chattahoochee” singer assured viewers the disease, caused by a genetic mutation he inherited from his father, is “not going to kill” him. Nevertheless, it has affected his ability to perform, or even appear on live broadcasts. “It’s getting more and more obvious. And I know I’m stumbling around onstage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable,” he explained.
