Prior to that, the singer hadn’t released an album since 2015 (viaSaving Country Music).
Unfortunately, his most recent announcement was much more serious than a new album.
The disease is passed down through genetics, and he inherited it from his father.
The singer toldToday, “It’s not going to kill me.
“There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years.
And it’s getting more and more obvious.
And I know I’m stumbling around onstage.
However, his goal is to push through the disease rather than retire from touring.
“I think that’s kinda cheesy.
And I’m not saying I won’t be able to tour.
I’ll have a go at do as much as I can,“Jacksonsaid.
It looks like Jackson is going to do his best to keep fighting through his health condition.
