When did Jeff Cook leave Alabama?

Cook’s iconic guitar licks, unique fiddle style, exceptional vocals, and harmony, along with his bandmates, went on to sell 80 million albums and charted 43 No. 1 hits, becoming the biggest group in the history of the country genre. Due to Cook’s health battle, he ceased touring with ALABAMA in 2018.

Mike Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, had Cook’s support and he appeared with him in Alabama during his campaign for president in 2008.

Cook said on April 11, 2017, that he had been given a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis four years earlier.

In 2018, he quit frequently touring with Alabama. The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum welcomed Cook into its ranks in 2019
