Alan Jackson postpones upcoming weekend concerts to deal with 'health issues'

Alan Jackson postponed a pair of upcoming shows this weekend in Pittsburgh and Atlantic City, New Jersey, citing health concerns.

On Tuesday, the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh and the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City posted on social media that the country musician is "dealing with health issues" stemming from Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is an inherited neurological condition that causes nerve damage mostly in the arms and legs and results in smaller, weaker muscles. People with this condition may experience loss of sensation, muscle contractions and difficulty walking. There is no cure for the disease, but it is usually not life-threatening.
