Here’s the story of Frankie Valli, a legend who’s not ready to hang up his mic anytime soon. Fans are worried, sure, but Frankie’s not listening to the noise. He’s all in, pushing forward with everything he’s got, determined to make every moment count until the very end.
Frankie’s Defiant Spirit
An insider exclusively told Closer, “Frankie Valli is embracing his later years with a spirit that’s nothing short of inspiring. His recent performances show that he’s not planning to slow down or stop being active anytime soon.” They added, “He knows his time might be limited, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to sit on the sidelines. He believes in living life to the fullest, no matter what.”
Role Models and Inspiration
Frankie, who celebrated his 90th birthday on May 3, is drawing strength from role models like Dick Van Dyke. “He’s taking inspiration from people like Dick Van Dyke,” the source mentioned. Dick, who’s gearing up to celebrate his 99th birthday in December, serves as a beacon of hope and resilience for Frankie.

Despite his age, Frankie has kept performing, thrilling audiences with his timeless voice. However, those closest to the frontman of The Four Seasons are growing increasingly concerned about his health and safety.
Challenges and Determination
“Loved ones can see that it’s becoming a challenge for him to stay steady on his feet sometimes,” the insider revealed. “But Frankie’s still doing everything he can, taking care of himself with as much energy as he can muster.” His friends wish he’d take it easy, fearing the worst is near. However, Frankie’s heart is set on something else. “He doesn’t want to become one of those sad old men who rely on walkers or caregivers. In his heart, he still feels young, even though his body is showing signs of wear and tear.”
On August 18, Frankie shared some unexpected news with his fans. He announced that he had contracted COVID-19. “Unfortunately, I’ve got COVID, like so many other folks these days,” the singer of hits like “Sherry” wrote in a post on X. “I’m tired, but I’m doing okay. Of course, I won’t be able to perform tonight in Atlanta and had to miss last night in Greensboro. Sorry to those who bought tickets… my team will get them rescheduled as soon as possible.”
Just days before his announcement, Frankie defended his ability to perform in concerts in a post on X. “Frankie is doing just fine and super happy to still be performing,” the post read. “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!”
Frankie’s postponed concert dates have now been rescheduled for early September.
Love in the Spotlight
Not long ago, Frankie made headlines for a different reason. Last June, he married his fourth wife, Jackie Jacobs, who’s 29 years younger than him, at the Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas. He currently has a residency at the hotel. “It’s terrific to have found love once again at this stage of my life,” Frankie shared with People after their wedding.

The couple first met back in 2007 but didn’t officially start dating until 2015. “We met at a restaurant in Los Angeles where he joined my friends and I for dinner,” Jackie recalled. “We kept in touch by phone until he called me and asked for a date in late 2015, and we’ve been together ever since.”
