In September 2021, Jackson revealed he had been dealing with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease for a decade. The degenerative nerve condition was affecting his ability to walk and perform on stage. He began his Last Call: One More for the Road tour in August 2024, wrapping up in May 2025.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease affects the nerves that control muscles. There is no known cure, but physical therapy, prescription medication, orthopedic devices and surgery can help manage symptoms, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
"I've been reluctant to talk about this publicly and to my fans, but it's been a while, and it's starting to affect my performance on stage a little bit where I don't feel comfortable," Jackson said in an appearance on Today back in 2021. "I just wanted the fans and the public to know if they've come to see me in the last few years or if they come to see me in the future if I play anymore, what's going on."
“I don't want them to think I'm drunk on stage because I'm having problems with mobility and balance,” Jackson explained, adding that he inherited the neurological disease from his father.
