Users Worry for Frankie Valli, 90, after Seeing His Recent Performance — Videos

On September 28, 2024, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons took the stage at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland to perform a medley of their biggest hits. While the show itself was a celebration of Valli’s long career, videos from this and other recent shows have gone viral, leading to worry among fans and internet users.

These clips, particularly on TikTok, showcase a legend who, despite his age, continues to perform. Yet, viewers were quick to notice a certain detail: Valli’s seeming lack of blinking during the show.

One user wrote, “He doesn’t blink at all.” Another added, “I think that’s the closest we’ve gotten to seeing him blink.” However, more extreme comments compared the performance to a dark comedy, “Weekend at Bernie’s – The Musical.”

Some fans even admitted that watching the videos made them uncomfortable. One fan commented, “Mom, I’m scared.” Another wrote, “This is scary to watch.”

Yet, despite the surge of concerned and critical responses, others rushed to defend the singer. Supporters were quick to highlight Valli’s remarkable achievement in continuing to perform at his age.

One fan expressed admiration, “At this age, he’s doing what he truly loves. A beautiful thing.” Another user praised Valli’s resilience, “What a legend, hasn’t lost a step, and can still hit those notes perfectly.”

For these fans, the discussion centered less on Valli’s appearance and more on his enduring passion for music. One comment read, “I love to see it, I don’t understand why people make fun of it… like he’s in love with music and performing what’s there to make fun of. This is beautiful.”

Another added, “He honestly looks like he’s having a good time. I feel bad everyone’s making fun of him 🥺.” Amidst the online chatter, the crooner himself chose to address the situation.

On September 30th, he gave a statement to People, expressing his gratitude for the ability to continue performing at the age of 90. Furthermore, his clear intention is to continue taking the stage as long as he is able and audiences desire to see him.

“I plan to be doing shows as long as I can, delivering that great Four Seasons sound,” he stated. The crooner finished with a light-hearted reference to “Jersey Boys,” the Broadway musical that chronicles his life, saying, “Like that line in ‘Jersey Boys,’ I’m like that bunny on TV, that just keeps going and going and going. Chasing the music.”

Born in 1934 as Francis Castelluccio in Newark, New Jersey, Valli rose to fame in 1962 as the lead singer of the Four Seasons. The group achieved widespread popularity with successful songs such as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “Walk Like a Man.”

His unique vocal range, combined with the group’s impressive harmonies, made them stand out from their contemporaries. Throughout their career, Valli and the Four Seasons have sold a remarkable number of records globally, exceeding 100 million. Additionally, their numerous chart-topping hits remain popular with people of all ages.

Meanwhile, the Tony Award-winning musical “Jersey Boys” has brought the group’s music to the attention of new generations. Throughout all this time, Valli has never slowed down.

Though some fans may be concerned, and some users may mock him, it’s clear that Frankie Valli is still deeply committed to his craft. As long as fans want to hear him, he’ll be there, delivering the timeless sounds of the Four Seasons.
