The daughter of US country singer Alan Jackson has spoken out about her dad after fans were worried for his health.
Mattie Jackson Selecman discussed her father's new bourbon called Silverbelly Whiskey on Thursday's episode of Today in Nashville.
Jackson suffers from the neurological condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and fans told how they were worried for his health.
Mattie told how while growing up she would watch her 64-year-old dad drink water and whiskey.
She said: “He wanted everybody to have a way to be a part of his career, his life in a new way.”
Jackson's whiskey was named after the colour of his famous cowboy hat and each bottle is labelled after his best selling songs.
It comes after an internet hoax appeared claiming Jackson had died.
But it was dismissed after a clip of him was shared online and captioned: “Still living that honky tonk dream y’all”.
Last week he received the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 Country Music Association Awards.
He told fans: “Country music has been real good to me and I fell in love with it when I was a young man.
“I really love the instruments, the steel guitars and the fiddles and things like that that gave it such a unique character to me and made it its own.
“And I love the lyrics and the songs and the artists and the melodies and the harmonies. It’s just a real American music to me.”
Last September, the popular music star opened up on his CMT disease diagnosis to TODAY.
He said: “I have this neuropathy and neurological disease.
"It's genetic that I inherited from my daddy ... 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 on stage.
"And now I'm having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable."
He added that “isn’t going to kill me”.
CMT affects around 126,000 people in the US and 2.6million people worldwide, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders.
