Frankie Valli Responds After Viral Concert Videos Spark Concerns Of “Elder Abuse”
Frankie Valli and his Four Seasons scored their first #1 hit with “Sherry” in 1962. That was 62 years ago. Frankie Valli celebrated his 90th birthday in May. That’s 360 seasons! He’s still playing live — not just reaching up for falsetto notes but acting out some version of the teenage-love showmanship that made him famous in the first place. Clips of Valli’s performances have been going around on TikTok for a few years, and a recent viral Twitter post claimed that sending Valli out to perform today is tantamount to “elder abuse.”
