Frankie Valli, god bless him, wants to get back out on tour. He’s 87! But Valli, the beloved leader of the Four Seasons, has been battling pneumonia and its after effects since October. At first he was tested for COVID, negative. Then it was thought he had the flu. Also negative. It turned out to be pneumonia.
Now Frankie says in an Instagram post he’s not 100 percent, and won’t tour in January as he promised.
Frankie, please take care of yourself. You owe us nothing. The world loves you! We will all stay home and listen to your records, watch the “Jersey Boys” with Nick Jonas whenever that arrives, and so on.
Frankie always Walks Like a Man!
PS Frankie should be very happy that Maneskin, the Italian rock band, has a new version of the Four Season’s “Beggin'” at the top of the charts. Everyone wants to hear the original now! (see below)
Valli writes on Instagram:
“Hello Everyone! I’m just writing to let you know I’m recovering nicely, but unfortunately the doctors want me to take another month off before I begin performing. So we are postponing our shows in January. I’m so looking forward to getting back on stage, but I can’t do that until I’m 100%.
“I want everybody who bought tickets to know that I’m sorry we won’t be able to do the shows right now…rest assured I can’t wait to get back on stage. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at a concert this year- Happy Holidays and a great New Year!”
