As we celebrate the golden years of our lives, we look back on the music that provided the soundtrack to our youth.
Frankie Valli, the voice behind Four Seasons, has been a staple in the music industry for decades as he enchanted fans with his timeless hits.
However, recent footage from the 90-year-old music legend's concerts sparked a wave of concern among his fans.
Valli, who recently turned 90 last May, had a rigorous touring schedule as a solo performer.
Yet, clips from his recent performances showed a frail and disoriented man, barely miming along to his songs.
The contrast between the vibrant young voice behind classics like 'Grease' and 'Big Girls Don't Cry' and the elderly figure on stage became an unsettling watch for the fans.
It's not just a few isolated clips that are causing a stir.
A video titled 'Is Frankie Valli Okay?' compiled footage from his recent concerts and painted a worrying picture of the star's current state.
The fans' concerns were not just for Valli's physical health but for his dignity as a performer.
'Putting him out in front of an audience like that should be considered elder abuse,' one commenter wrote.
'He's clearly being forced to perform. He looks like he doesn't know where he is or what's really going on,' another pointed out.
'Whoever is making him go on should be ashamed!'
Another fan called out Valli's live band and backup dancers.
'Everyone on that stage should be ashamed of themselves.'
Despite these concerns, Valli stuck with his schedule, with back-to-back shows and a busy itinerary deemed demanding for artists half his age.
With 15 shows across the US before the year ends and another 13 shows booked for 2025, fans continue to wonder if this is what Valli truly wants.
In response to the growing speculation about his health, Valli's team issued a statement.
'Frankie is doing just fine and super happy to be still performing,' the statement wrote.
'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!'
