Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons will no longer be touring this year due to the singer’s health.

Valli, who turned 92 in May, canceled all remaining tour dates for 2026 in an announcement that went out heading into the weekend.

“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 in a statement published on the group’s Instagram account on Friday (May 29).

“I’m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon,” he added in his statement. “Thank you for all your good wishes.”

Valli did not provide further details about the unspecified health concerns.

But he has kept busy performing throughout the past few years on The Last Encores Tour, the group’s farewell run that started in 2023 and had most recently been extended through late 2026. He was expected to appear in select U.S. markets in June and July, followed by a string of dates in September through November.

In an interview with Tucson, Arizona’s 94.9 MIX FM radio station in February, he explained why he heads out on the road still, many decades into his career: “Be loyal to what you’re doing and love what you’re doing. If you’re doing it out of fame or with the hope of becoming famous. it’s really the wrong approach. You should be doing it out of the fact that you love and it and it’s the most important thing in your life. If I had not become successful I’d probably still be working in some little bar. I love music that much.”

Last year, Valli was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Recording Academy’s Special Merit Awards, though he’d never won a Grammy — and despite charting five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with The Four Seasons, dating back to 1962 with “Sherry,” which launched at the top after Dick Clark introduced it on American Bandstand, and two as a solo performer, including the 1978 title track for Grease. “This has been an incredible evening,” he said at the ceremony, quipping, “I don’t know what took so long, but that’s the way it goes.”
