In an emotional moment that has stirred hearts across the country music world, Denise Jackson, wife of the beloved country legend Alan Jackson, has confirmed that Alan’s ongoing health condition has re-emerged. The 66-year-old icon, known for timeless hits like “Remember When” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning),” is once again facing a personal battle — but he is not doing it alone.
“Yes, we’ve hit another bump in the road,” Denise shared, her voice steady but full of emotion. “But we’ve walked through storms before — and we’ve never stopped holding hands.”
Alan has publicly shared in past years that he lives with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition that affects mobility and muscle strength. Though not life-threatening, it has caused significant challenges. For a time, symptoms had stabilized. But according to Denise, recent months have brought new complications.
Still, amid the concern, her words echoed with resilience, love, and unwavering faith.
“He still sings every morning,” she said with a smile. “Maybe not on stage, but in our kitchen. That’s the thing about Alan — the music never really leaves him.”
She went on to thank fans for their continued prayers and support, saying that Alan draws strength from the letters, videos, and messages he receives daily.
“You’ve given him so much joy over the years,” Denise said. “And now, knowing you’re still out there — still listening, still loving him — it means everything.”
Alan, she added, is spending more time at home with family, enjoying the quiet rhythms of Southern life: porch conversations, backyard sunsets, and the laughter of grandchildren running barefoot through the grass.
“This chapter is slower,” she said. “But it’s full of peace, grace, and gratitude. He’s not done singing — not by a long shot. He’s just changing the tempo.”
As fans rally behind the Jackson family once again, one thing is clear: Alan Jackson’s story has always been more than just chart-toppers and awards. It’s been about honesty, heart, and holding on — to faith, to family, and to each other.
And in Denise’s words, we hear the quiet, enduring strength behind the man millions have loved for decades.
“He’s my cowboy,” she whispered. “And cowboys don’t quit — they just keep riding.”
