Alan Jackson broke onto the country music scene in the late ’80s, quickly becoming a top artist in the genre with hits like “Little Bitty” and “Gone Country.” These days, however, Jackson’s life looks much different. On the February 21 episode of the “In Joy Life” podcast hosted by his daughter Mattie Jackson, Alan talked a bit about what he has planned for the future amid his health struggles — and it may include some new music. “I’m always scribbling down ideas and thinking about melodies and I feel like there’ll be some more music to come, yes,” he told his daughter. “If I didn’t write, I think I would’ve gotten bored just singing a long time ago,” he added.

Alan shared a clip of the interview on his Instagram feed, with many fans showing their love and support for the singer in the comments. “Alan you are true country singer with wonderful family,” one Instagram user wrote. “Thank you for all your music and love,” added another. While Jackson’s condition will continue to worsen over time, it’s clear that he’s made an impressive impact on the country music landscape — and his fans are forever grateful.
