Rick Diamond/Getty Jackson's retirement comes nearly four years after herevealed that he'd been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a hereditary affliction that affects his nerves. "I've been reluctant to talk about this publicly and to my fans, but it's been a while, and it's starting to affect my performance onstage a little bit where I don't feel comfortable," the "Livin' on Love" star shared during a September 2021 appearance on theTodayshow. He continued, "I just wanted the fans and the public to know if they've come to see me in the last few years or if they come to see me in the future if I play anymore, what's going on. I don't want them to think I'm drunk onstage because I'm having problems with mobility and balance." While the musician said that the disease was "not fatal," Jackson acknowledged that it was "going to disable me eventually." "This is not a condition that I would be complaining about typically, but it is going to affect me performance-wise onstage, and I don't know how much I'll continue to tour," he added.
