Jackson\u2019s sister is also battling CMT at the moment. There is no cure for the disease, however, it is not fatal, despite being linked to other conditions such as Parkinson\u2019s and muscular dystrophy.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with TODAY program anchor Jenna Bush Hager, Jackson announced his diagnosis, saying it was a \u201cgift\u201d to be able to share his disease with the public and live his life authentically rather than attempting to disguise it. \u201cIt\u2019s been affecting me for years, and it\u2019s becoming more and more visible,\u201d he explained. \u201cI\u2019m aware that I\u2019m stumbling around on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now I\u2019m having difficulties balancing, even in front of the microphone, and I\u2019m just feeling extremely uneasy. I think it\u2019ll benefit me to get it out there now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the limitations given by CMT condition, Jackson has already accomplished much in his country music career. In the United States, he has sold over 45 million albums, making him one of the best-selling recording artists of all time. Last year, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, attended by other country music giants such as Loretta Lynn and Lee Ann Womack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was practicing his tunes backstage. And I remember looking at him and telling him, \u2018You\u2019re going to be one of the best country singers.\u00a0He has not disappointed me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Jackson\u2019s CMT diagnosis has been a handicap, it has not prevented him from attaining enormous success in the world of country music. He has the encouragement and support of his fans and fellow musicians, and despite the problems he encounters, he will continue to compose music and inspire others.<\/p>\n<div class=\"4b4bc4aab449d86113978ac618a2125d\" data-index=\"3\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alan Jackson, a well-known country music artist, recently shared the bad news with his fans and followers.
