In 2021, Jackson first announced that he had been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), an incurable, degenerative nerve condition that affects the peripheral nerves.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>Following his diagnosis, Jackson launched his multi-year \u201cLast Call\u201d farewell tour, giving fans one final chance to see him perform live.
