Alan Jackson’s Farewell Tour Nears Its Final Curtain Call
Country music icon Alan Jackson is wrapping up his legendary career with his farewell tour, Last Call: One More For The Road. The tour, which initially kicked off in 2022, saw a brief pause before Jackson resumed performances—despite his diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Now, the end is in sight, with the final leg set to conclude on May 17 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Alan Jackson Hints at New Music: «There’s More to Come»
Although his touring days are drawing to a close, Jackson appears to be cherishing every remaining moment on stage. At a recent concert in Orlando, Florida, the country star got emotional during a performance of his beloved hit, Drive, hinting at just how much these final shows mean to him.
A Sentimental Moment at The Kia Center
During his show at the Kia Center in Orlando, Jackson delivered a heartfelt rendition of Drive, a track from his chart-topping 2002 album. However, this was far from just another routine performance. Before launching into the song, Jackson took a moment to reflect on its deep personal significance.
“This is a song I wrote quite a few years ago after my daddy passed away,” Jackson shared with the audience. “I didn’t want to write some old, sad, ‘crying-dying’ kind of song. Instead, I thought about growing up—how all I ever wanted to do was drive something. And he was the one who taught me.”
As Jackson performed the touching tribute to his father, emotions got the best of him, especially during the final chorus. The moment not only honored his father’s memory once more but also served as one of the last times the legendary singer would perform the song in front of thousands. As his farewell tour winds down, it’s clear that saying goodbye to the stage isn’t easy—even for a legend like Alan Jackson.
