(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – Frankie Valli’s fans voiced their concerns about the 90-year-old singer’s health, wondering if he was too old to perform after he appeared weak and struggled to lip-sync during a recent concert.
Watch the video below this post.
Even though a Valli representative reassured them that he was “just fine,” a video of his difficult performance has already racked up over 4.1 million views.
The singer has faced lip-synching allegations for several years.
The video, originally posted on Instagram, quickly gained attention. Shortly after, it was shared on X and TikTok, sparking a wave of concern.
“Great show!!!! Frankie shows his age but at 90 years old he still can draw a crowd and rock the house,” they wrote. “Was definitely a #millivanilli lip sync concert but what would you expect from a 90-year-old guy!!!!”
“Who is doing this to Frankie Valli?” one person wrote on X. “This is hard to watch.”
The footage, taken at Valli’s August 3 show at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, a suburb of San Jose, captures the legendary singer looking frail as he struggles to climb a short set of stairs to the stage, gripping a handrail for support.
Despite his shaky entrance, Valli received a warm welcome from the crowd. He paused to acknowledge them before finally making it to the stage.
As his set began, Valli appeared to lip-sync to his 1978 hit “Grease,” the same track used in the movie’s opening credits. Yet, he seemed to struggle with mouthing the words.
During the performance, the “Can’t Keep My Eyes Off Of You” singer snapped his fingers slowly, holding the microphone somewhat unsteadily while surrounded by backup vocalists.
Moreover, a representative for Valli stated, “Frankie is doing just fine and super happy to still be performing. The audiences are filling venues and listening to some great music.”
Valli and the Four Seasons are currently on a farewell tour titled “The Last Encore,” scheduled to continue until April 2025.
Additionally, Valli announced the farewell tour in October 2023, expressing in a press release that he is “eternally grateful for the love and support” he has received from fans “throughout the decades.”
