\n\tFrankie Valli<\/a> has cancelled his remaining concerts for 2026, citing unspecified health issues. In a post on Instagram on Friday, the singer confirmed that Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons would be taking the rest of the year off from touring. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m so sorry to disappoint the folks who have purchased tickets to my shows, but I have decided to take the rest of the year off from touring to focus on my health,\u201d Valli wrote. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon. Thank you for all your good wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tValli\u2019s rep, Victoria Varela, told Variety<\/a> the team decided to cancel the shows rather than postpone them and leave fans in limbo. \u201cPromoters want to prolong things and not give people their money back, but he needs to not keep rescheduling these shows,\u201d she said. \u201cHe realized he needed to take a break and get his health in order, and that is the true issue\u2014he wants to get better without prolonging, through the rescheduling process, the pain of people who\u2019ve bought these tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe confirmed that he will spend the next six months getting well and will consider touring again in 2027. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons previously postponed several tour dates scheduled for April to later in the summer. Those have now been cancelled along with several others spanning from the summer through November. Valli most recently performed on Feb. 22 at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2024, a video of Valli performing went viral<\/a> due to the then-90-year-old musician seeming very spaced out. \u201cWhoever keeps sending Frankie Valli out on stage at this point is committing elder abuse,\u201d one social media user wrote when the clip began circulating. But Valli defended his decision to stay on the road. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI get a chuckle from the comments wondering if someone forcing me to go on stage. Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn\u2019t want to do,\u201d Valli shared in a statement. \u201cI know there has been a lot of stuff on the internet about me lately so I wanted to clear the air. I am blessed to be 90 years old and still be doing what I love to do and as long as I am able, and audiences want to come see me, I am going to be out there performing as I always. I absolutely love what I do. And I know we put on a great show because our fans are still coming out in force and the show still rocks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cI plan to be doing shows as long as I can, delivering that great Four Seasons sound. Like that line in\u00a0Jersey Boys, I\u2019m like that bunny on TV, that just keeps going and going and going. Chasing the music.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frankie Valli has cancelled his remaining concerts for 2026, citing unspecified health issues.
