Frankie Valli 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.
“I’m 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,” Valli wrote. “I’m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon. Thank you for all your good wishes.”
Valli’s rep, Victoria Varela, told Variety the team decided to cancel the shows rather than postpone them and leave fans in limbo. “Promoters want to prolong things and not give people their money back, but he needs to not keep rescheduling these shows,” she said. “He realized he needed to take a break and get his health in order, and that is the true issue—he wants to get better without prolonging, through the rescheduling process, the pain of people who’ve bought these tickets.”
She 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.
In 2024, a video of Valli performing went viral due to the then-90-year-old musician seeming very spaced out. “Whoever keeps sending Frankie Valli out on stage at this point is committing elder abuse,” one social media user wrote when the clip began circulating. But Valli defended his decision to stay on the road.
“I get a chuckle from the comments wondering if someone forcing me to go on stage. Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn’t want to do,” Valli shared in a statement. “I 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.”
He added, “I plan to be doing shows as long as I can, delivering that great Four Seasons sound. Like that line in Jersey Boys, I’m like that bunny on TV, that just keeps going and going and going. Chasing the music.”
