Frankie Valli, who at 92 has never lost his love for the road, announced Friday that he is canceling the remainder of his concert dates for 2026, due to health issues.

“I’m so sorry to disappoint the folks who have purchased tickets to my shows,” he said on social media, “but I have decided to take the rest of the year off from touring to focus on my health. I’m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon. Thank you for all your good wishes.”

His longtime representative, Victoria Varela, says that the decision to cancel shows rather than postpone them was in consideration of fans who have already paid money and might have it held in limbo indefinitely while he works to regain his health. “Promoters want to prolong things and not give people their money back,” she told Variety, “but he needs to not keep rescheduling these shows. 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 said that Valli, an inveterate performer who has rarely taken any extensive time-outs from performing, wants to devote the next six months to his health, and then consider a return to performing in 2027.

Valli and the Four Seasons had already rescheduled shows that were supposed to take place in April this year, which had been pushed back into summer and fall but now are off the books entirely.

Ticketmaster shows nine dates as canceled, the next three of which were to be June 26 in Scottsale, Ariz., June 28 in Anaheim, Calif. and July 17 in Newark. He had shows scheduled through a November date in Detoit.

The singer last performed Feb. 22, at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula. User reviews on Ticketmaster from that show were largely enthusiastic; while one commenter remarked that he seemed “frail,” others complimented his stamina, like the attendee who wrote, “This 91-year-old gentlemen stood through 18 songs, never sat down once… This show put a pep in my step and a smile on my face for days.”

Valli found fame as the lead singer of the Four Seasons and eventually as a solo artist in the 1960s with smashes like “Walk Like a Man,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Rag Doll” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2026. His life and career were the basis of a musical, “Jersey Boys,” that ran on Broadway from 2005-2017 and was adapted into a musical film by director Clint Eastwood in 2014.
