With a trembling voice and visible emotion, Alan shared:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"404\" data-end=\"449\">\n<p data-start=\"406\" data-end=\"449\">\u201c<strong data-start=\"407\" data-end=\"448\">I never thought I\u2019d have to say this\u2026<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"700\">The beloved star, known for timeless hits like <em data-start=\"498\" data-end=\"515\">&#8220;Remember When&#8221;<\/em>, <em data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"534\">&#8220;Chattahoochee&#8221;<\/em>, and <em data-start=\"540\" data-end=\"591\">&#8220;Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)&#8221;<\/em>, revealed that he is facing a personal and health battle that will change the course of his life and career.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"867\">\n<p data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"867\">\u201c<strong data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"811\">It\u2019s been an incredible journey, but now I need to face something I didn\u2019t think would come this soon,<\/strong>\u201d he added, pausing to gather himself before continuing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"1272\">Though the full details of his condition or challenges were not disclosed in the initial announcement, sources close to the family suggest that it may be related to his ongoing battle with <strong data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1089\">Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease<\/strong>, a degenerative nerve condition he first disclosed in 2021.
