LEGENDARY crooner Frankie Valli has been spotted running errands in Los Angeles as rumors about his health and well-being continue to swirl.
Valli sparked health concerns after recent videos of him performing live at 90 years old went viral.
The beloved singer was seen leaving Nat’s Diner in Woodland Hills, California on October 1.
He appeared to be joined by at least one of his sons, who he was seen hugging.
Valli was dressed casually in jeans and a button-down shirt with a darker jacket and sporting an unkempt beard.
The crooner, who married CBS marketing executive Jackie Jacobs, 61, last year, was also seen earlier in the day with a handful of clothing visiting a tailor.
Despite his age, Valli has shown no signs of slowing down.
He is scheduled to perform through April 2025 on his farewell tour with the Four Seasons.
But Valli has worried fans in recent weeks after videos of the singer appearing to blunder his lip-synching while performing live made the rounds on social media.
One video showed a seemingly confused Valli gripping a handrail as he climbed stairs to the stage at a gig outside of San Jose, California.
Valli opened that same concert with his hit song, Grease.
But he appeared to struggle to mouth the words as his backup singers carried the performance.
Frankie Valli, 90, gets restraining order against son Francesco after ‘attempted break-in’ and ‘death threats’ to singer
A representative for Valli told the New York Post after that gig that Valli “is doing just fine and super happy to still be performing.
“The audiences are filling venues and listening to some great music.”
In several other videos, he’s seen staring off into the distance, holding the microphone far from his mouth, and snapping his fingers while in the spotlight.
His mouth hardly moved at times and long stretches showed an unblinking Valli.
Valli also appeared to forget choreography and lyrics on more than one occasion.
Viewers have said Valli “looks exhausted” and some have urged for him to be checked on.
“This video of a 90-year-old Frankie Valli struggling to even lip sync to his old music is hard to watch. Let the man retire,” one person pleaded on X.
But he broke his silence on the topic with a statement to People just days ago.
“Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn’t want to do,” he said.
Frankie Valli’s full statement
Frankie Valli spoke to People following the social media rumors stemming from a recent performance.
“I know there has been a lot of stuff on the internet about me lately so I wanted to clear the air. I am blessed to be 90 years old and still be doing what I love to do and as long as I am able, and audiences want to come see me, I am going to be out there performing as I always. I absolutely love what I do. And I know we put on a great show because our fans are still coming out in force and the show still rocks.
“How do we do the show?! The Four Seasons sound was always about layering vocals and instruments. We use our 60 years of experience so we sound like the records. I sing, I have singers who sing, great arrangements….everything. I get a chuckle from the comments wondering if someone forcing me to go on stage. Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn’t want to do.
“I plan to be doing shows as long as I can, delivering that great Four Seasons sound. Like that line in Jersey Boys, I’m like that bunny on TV, that just keeps going and going and going. Chasing the music.”

FAMILY DRAMA
Unfortunately, the health and lip-synching rumors aren’t the only issues plaguing Valli.
Valli, who has been married four times, has six children.
He and his son Emilio, 29, were granted a restraining order from Valli’s other son, Francesco, in late April.
The order came after Francesco, 36, reportedly tried to break into his father’s property.
While waiting for police to arrive, Francesco “repeatedly physically threatened to harm or kill” both Frankie and Emilio, People reported.
This was “part of a pattern for the past several months,” the family told the outlet.
The restraining order is valid through April 29, 2027.
