Frankie Valli, 90, reacts to fans' concern over his recent performance

Frankie Valli has responded to fans' concerns about the 90-year-old singer's recent Frankie Valli and Four Seasons performances.

“I know there's been a lot of stuff on the internet about me lately, so I wanted to set the record straight,” Valli shared in a statement given to Us weekly on Monday, September 30. “I am lucky to be 90 years old and still doing what I love to do and, as long as I can and the public wants to come see me, I will be performing the way I do. I always do it. I love what I do. And I know we put on a great show because our fans are still coming out strong and the show is still great.”

Concerns about Valli's health arose after videos of recent shows began circulating on social media, including a video in which the singer appeared unable to keep up with his choreography “December 1963 (Oh What a Night)”.

Another clip showed Valli apparently missing some lyrics from “Bye, Bye, Baby (Baby, Goodbye),” which some fans thought was lip-syncing. One commenter on the videos claimed that Valli seemed “exhausted,” while another called the situation “very sad.”

Other comment He alleged: “Whoever continues to send Frankie Valli on stage right now is committing elder abuse.”

“How do we do the show?! “The Four Seasons sound was always about layering vocals and instruments,” Valli’s statement continued. “We use our 60 years of experience to sound like the records. I sing, I have singers who sing, great arrangements….everything. I chuckle at the comments wondering if someone is forcing me to go on stage. “No one has ever forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do.”

He concluded: “I plan to do shows as much as I can, offering that great Four Seasons sound. Like that line in Kids SweaterI'm like that bunny on television, who goes on and on and on. Chasing the music.”

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are currently on a “Greatest Hits” tour with performances scheduled through April 2025. So far, 2024 has been an eventful year for Valli, who turned 90 in May, the same month in that the Four Seasons star received an award. star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

As concerns about Valli's health circulated online, Lenny Kravitz shared a black and white selfie with the singer via instagram on Sunday, September 29. He praised Valli's work ethic in the caption.

“Just ran into the legendary Frankie Valli at the airport,” the 60-year-old rocker wrote. “Nothing but respect for you sir. Endless hits and still on tour at 90 years old. Love !”
