Frankie Valli has canceled all of his remaining concert dates for 2026, citing health concerns. The 92-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer broke the news to fans via Instagram on Friday.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint the folks who have purchased tickets to my shows,” Valli wrote in his statement. “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.”
His longtime representative, Victoria Varela, told Variety the decision to cancel — rather than reschedule — was made out of consideration for ticketholders. “He needs to not keep rescheduling these shows,” Varela said. “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.”
Valli and the Four Seasons had already postponed a series of April dates, pushing them into summer and fall. Those shows are now off the books entirely. Ticketmaster lists nine canceled dates, with the next three having been scheduled for June 26 in Scottsdale, Ariz., June 28 in Anaheim, Calif., and July 17 in Newark. Additional dates were on the books through a November show in Detroit.
The singer last took the stage Feb. 22 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif. Audience reviews from that performance were largely positive, with fans praising his endurance as he performed 18 songs without sitting down.
Varela told Variety that Valli plans to devote the next six months to his health and is considering a return to performing in 2027.
Valli rose to fame as the lead singer of the Four Seasons, scoring hits including “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 inspired the Broadway musical “Jersey Boys,” which ran from 2005 to 2017 and was adapted into a film by director Clint Eastwood in 2014.
