Today, the 92-year-old took to social media to respond to his brother’s claim. “In spite of what you might have heard, I am not retired. – Frankie,” he wrote.
Back in May, Valli said that he was taking the rest of the year off. Therefore, the retirement rumors did not seem false.
What makes me think he should, and I say this from a heartfelt place, is that those live performances are not easy to watch. I am half expecting Andrew McCarthy and Johnathan Silverman to come out and Weekend At Bernie’s him.
Seventy-Five is an admirable run. Go out on top, and not looking like you are almost six feet under.
UPDATE: Bobby Valli posted this: “I apologize, I was misinformed. I was under the impression my brother Frankie was retiring. Hoping for him to have a speedy recovery. to continue his illustrious career!”
