The country supermarket closed his speech with special shouting to his wife, Tension.
“I want to thank one person who has been my best friend since I was 17. That’s my wife, Denise, out there,” he said. “She has loved me through the good and the bad and the happy and the sad and influenced me, given me three beautiful women, helped me keep my feet on the ground all these years.

For the past year Jackson has been on his Last call: another for the road tripdescribed in a press release as “one last opportunity for people to see and hear the iconic singer-songwriter performing his most popular-music songs that have been the soundtrack of their lives-on.”
The journey began to start in 2022. After a short hiatus, Jackson resumed the initiative In the summer of 2024. Currently his final show has been scheduled for May 17 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, although he may announce additional dates in the future.
Despite continuing to go on a journey, Jackson retreated largely from the magnifying glass during the last decade in the middle a continuous health battle he kept private for years. In September 2021, he revealed that he had been suffering from a degenerative nerve condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth’s disease for the past 10 years, which affected his ability to walk and perform on stage.
“I’ve been reluctant to talk about this in public and with my fans, but it’s been a time, and it’s starting to affect my performance on stage a little where I don’t feel comfortable,” said Jackson on the Today Show at the time. “I wanted the fans and the public to know if they have come to see me over the past few years or whether they come to see me in the future if I play anymore, what happens.”
Jackson – who shares Mattie’s daughters, 34, Alexandra, 31, and Dani, 27, with his wife Denise, who married in December 1979 – did not want his supporters to “think I was drunk on the stage because I had problems with mobility and balance,” adding that he had inherited his father. He also explained that the disease is not fatal but will “eventually disable me.”
“I’ve had a lovely, beautiful life, and I’ve been so wonderful. I can’t even imagine what other people are going through,” he continued. “This is not a condition that we will typically complain about, but it will affect me wisely in terms of stage performance, and I do not know how much I will continue to go on a journey.”
