Clay Walker Extends Tour Into 2026 as He Confronts Ongoing MS Symptoms

He reports only modest relief from a March baclofen pump, with balance problems persisting.

Overview

  • Walker discussed his condition in a new People interview published Nov. 9, stressing his resolve by saying, “I’m not giving up.”
  • The singer underwent surgery in March 2025 to deliver baclofen directly into his spinal fluid to reduce spasticity.
  • He says the treatment brought limited gains, noting he recently managed five minutes on a treadmill without a harness but still struggles with balance.
  • Walker has added 2026 tour stops, including Oklahoma in January, Indiana and Missouri in February, South Carolina in March, and Illinois in April.
  • He acknowledges onstage challenges and says his band stays alert to assist, yet performing continues to bring him energy and joy.
