Frankie Valli Addresses Viral Concerns Over His Health and Lip-Syncing, Says He’s ‘Still Rocking’ at 90

Legendary singer Frankie Valli has responded to fans' concerns about his health and the noticeable lip-syncing in his recent performances after videos of the shows went viral online. Last month, clips of The Four Seasons frontman appeared on TikTok, where many noticed he seemed to lag behind choreography and was clearly lip-syncing to pre-recorded tracks during the gigs.

Fans raised concerns about whether Valli was "exhausted" or needed to be "checked on," but in a statement to People magazine, the music icon set the record straight, insisting he's doing just fine.

"I know there’s been a lot of talk on the internet about me lately, so I wanted to clear the air," Valli explained. "I’m blessed to be 90 years old and still doing what I love. As long as I’m able and the fans keep showing up, I’m going to keep performing. I absolutely love what I do, and the fans are still coming out in force because the show still rocks."

Addressing the lip-syncing directly, Valli shared that The Four Seasons sound was always about more than just live vocals—it’s a layered production, and his goal is to stay true to that iconic sound.

"The Four Seasons’ sound has always been about layering vocals and instruments to recreate the magic of the records," he said. "Yes, we use tracks to maintain that same polished quality. I sing, my band sings, and we’ve got great arrangements to give the fans the experience they expect. I’ve seen the comments, and some of them made me laugh, like people thinking I’m being forced to perform. Nobody’s ever made me do something I didn’t want to do!"

Despite the online chatter, Valli shows no signs of stopping, with tour dates lined up until April 2025. "Like the line from Jersey Boys says, I’m like that bunny on TV, just keeps going and going. Chasing the music," he added.
