Videos of lip-syncing Frankie Valli go viral, spark concern

Videos of lip-syncing Frankie Valli go viral, spark concern

Frankie Valli, the legendary crooner and frontman of the Four Seasons, turned 90 this past May but continues to maintain a robust touring schedule, with concerts planned well into 2025. However, recent concert footage of the singer has gone viral on social media over the last few weeks, with many expressing concern over his well-being.

Many of the clips show Valli singing with the microphone far below his mouth. He often struggles to keep up with the music, barely moving his lips as backing tracks play. At other times, he seems to miss his cues entirely. Making the scenes all the more jarring is the juxtaposition of the much younger Four Seasons members singing and dancing in the background, along with the accompaniment of a full band.

Understandably, many people in the comments expressed their concern for Valli. “This is a tough watch,” one person wrote. “This is cruel,” another person commented. “If I paid for this show and this is what I got I’d be pissed,” someone else stated.

Criticism of Valli’s lip-syncing and use of audio enhancements in live performances date back years. However, renewed concerns over his health and well-being emerged during a concert in Saratoga, California in August, 2024, when he appeared to have trouble climbing a small flight of stairs onto the stage and then seemed unsteady while performing.

At the time, a representative for Valli told the New York Post that, “Frankie is doing just fine and super happy to still be performing. The audiences are filling venues and listening to some great music. Frankie is doing what he loves to do at 90. We should all be so lucky.”

Since then, additional clips from Valli’s ongoing tour with the Four Seasons have emerged online, generating hundreds of thousands of views on platforms like TikTok.

Valli previously announced in 2023 that his upcoming tour will be his final one with the Four Seasons. The tour is currently scheduled to continue through at least April 2025, when Valli will be 91 years old.
