Alan Jackson opened up about his career, life and revealed that he has been diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition during an emotional interview with NBC ‘Today’ host Jenna Bush Hager.

Jackson had kept it from the public but as his condition has gotten worse the singer felt that it was time to share. He said that it has started to affect his performances but he will continue to do shows for as long as he can. The condition which is abbreviated as “CMT” is not deadly, but it will eventually disable him.
