Frankie Valli has cancelled his remaining live dates for the rest of the year.

The 92-year-old Four Seasons legend has been on an extended farewell tour since 2023, though the concerts were halted in September 2025 before restarting in February.

"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," said Frankie on Instagram.

"I'm looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon. Thank you for all your good wishes."

In recent years, Valli's concerts have drawn criticism for the level of pre-recorded vocals and instrumentation allegedly used in the live mix.

"I haven't had a problem, an audience problem, for my whole life," Valli told The Washington Post in October 2024.

"And if I can't make a note, I don't sing it."

To claims that he was being cajoled into appearing on stage against his will, Frankie had People a month earlier : "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."

He added: "How do we do the show?! The Four Seasons sound was always about layering vocals and instruments.

"We use our 60 years of experience so we sound like the records. I sing, I have singers who sing, great arrangement... everything.

"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."
