Jackson revealed last year that he had inherited CMT from his father.
He admitted there’s “no cure” for the condition and said it’s becoming “more obvious.”
Jackson added that he realizes that he’s been “stumbling” on stage.
He said: “And now I'm having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable."
CMT affects around 126,000 people in the US and 2.6million people worldwide, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders.
