Frankie Valli, 90, struggles to lip-sync at concert, leaves fans concerned



Frankie Valli’s fans are expressing concern for the 90-year-old’s health after he appeared weak and struggled to lip-synch at a recent concert, but a rep for Valli exclusively tells The Post he’s “just fine.”

A video of the legendary singer’s difficult-to-watch performance has already been viewed more than 4.1 million times.

Taken at Valli’s August 3 gig at the Mountain Winery in the San Jose suburb of Saratoga, the video shows the singer looking frail as he fights to climb a short flight of stairs to the stage and grips a handrail as he does.

Valli gets a warm welcome from the crowd, whom he pauses to acknowledge before finally making it to the stage.

As his set gets underway, the crooner appears to be lip-synching to his 1978 hit “Grease,” which was also the movie’s opening credits track, but seems to struggle to mouth the words.

As the music continues, the “Can’t Keep My Eyes Off Of You” singer snaps his fingers slowly, holding a mike somewhat unsteadily while flanked by backup vocalists.

However, a rep for Valli told The Post on Tuesday: “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,” the rep added. “We should all be so lucky.”

The video, which kicked everything off, was posted by Instagram user @cecchinitrucking on August 3. 

“Great show!!!! Frankie shows his age but at 90 years old he still can draw a crowd and rock the house,” they wrote. “Was definitely a #millivanilli lip sync concert but what would you expect from a 90 year old guy!!!!”

The video was subsequently posted on X and TikTok by others, kicking off a wave of concern. 

“Who is doing this to Frankie Valli?” one person wrote on X. “This is hard to watch.”

Many others echoed the sentiment. “This video of a 90-year-old Frankie Valli struggling to even lip-synch to his old music is hard to watch,” another posted. “Let the man retire.”

“Frankie Valli is such a king,” a fan wrote. “We need to protect him for as long as we can. His dedication after all these years is incredible.”

Valli has faced allegations of lip-synching for several years. 

Valli and the Four Seasons are currently on a farewell tour titled “The Last Encore,” which is slated to continue until April of 2025. 

Valli announced the farewell tour in October 2023, saying in a press release that he is “eternally grateful for the love and support” he has received from fans “throughout the decades.”

“I always loved touring and can’t wait to see the fans,” he added.
