Alan Jackson performed his final show on Saturday (27 June), a fitting, 25-song event to conclude his remarkable career.
Last year, Jackson confirmed his Last Call: One More for the Road Tour, officially hanging up his boots after nearly 40 years of writing, recording, and touring.
Discussing the weekend’s final show, Jackson said, “We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started, and that’s in Nashville, Tennessee – Music City – where country music lives. I gotta do the last one there.”
His final concert took place at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, with George Strait joining him on stage for two songs and a number of other famous friends sending on-screen messages.
