NBC is paying tribute to country music legend Alan Jackson in an unprecedented television event that will also feature the star’s final concert.
Alan Jackson: The Last Show, filmed before a sold-out crowd at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, will capture a once-in-generation farewell that no music fan will want to miss. The primetime special will air later this year on NBC and stream the following day on Peacock.
The upcoming special will “spotlight Jackson’s remarkable catalog of hits spanning more than three decades, including the songs that helped define modern country music and cemented his place as one of the genre’s all-time greatest performers,” NBC’s official press release reveals, adding that the telecast will “honor Jackson’s enduring legacy and profound impact on generations of fans and musicians alike as he takes the stage one final time.”
The can’t-miss primetime event will spotlight the songs from Jackson’s extensive three-decade-plus catalog, especially the influential tracks that helped define modern country music as fans know it.
Thanks to songs like “Chattahoochee,” “Remember When,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” and “Gone Country,” Jackson became one of the top-selling artists of all time, selling over 44 million records in the United States alone.
In other words, the last chance fans will have to witness Jackson perform on stage is by tuning in to Alan Jackson: The Last Show, and joining the world — and many of Jackson’s friends — in giving the legend a proper farewell.
