Frankie Valli, the 92-year-old singer, has refuted his brother's announcement that he is retiring from live performances. In a statement on Instagram, Valli clarified, "In spite of what you might have heard, I am not retired." A representative for the singer, Victoria Varela, echoed the sentiment to Variety, stating, "This is false."
The denials came after Frankie's brother, Bobby Valli, announced the singer's retirement. In his statement, Bobby expressed, "He will now retire. We will always have special memories of Frankie Valli. He has reached a place in his life where his family is there to love, cherish and to be there for him… We appreciate your love and concern."
In May, Valli had canceled the rest of his 2026 tour to focus on his health. At the time, his representative, Varela, told Variety, "My client hopes to return to performing in 2027." The singer's well-being has been a subject of concern in recent years, with viral concert videos and recent photos showing him appearing frail.
