Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons Call Off 2026 Tour Dates Amid Health Concerns
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons have canceled their remaining 2026 tour dates due to the singer's health. The 'Last Encores' tour, initially slated to run through November, has been called off as Valli focuses on his well-being.
It's with a heavy heart that fans of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons learn of the cancellation of their 'Last Encores' concert dates, which were scheduled from June through November of 2026.
The news arrives as Valli, a vibrant 92 years young as of May, has decided to prioritize his health, leading to the difficult decision to cancel all remaining tour dates for 2026.
"I’m so sorry to disappoint the folks who have purchased tickets to my shows, but I have decided to take the rest of the year off from touring to focus on my health," Valli shared in a heartfelt statement on the group’s Instagram account.

Valli did not elaborate on the specifics of his health concerns.
The Last Encores Tour, a farewell journey that began in 2023, had been extended through late 2026.
In a February interview with Tucson, Arizona’s 94.9 MIX FM, Valli reflected on his enduring passion for performing: "Be loyal to what you’re doing and love what you’re doing... You should be doing it out of the fact that you love it and it’s the most important thing in your life. If I had not become successful I’d probably still be working in some little bar. I love music that much."
Last year, Valli received a lifetime achievement award at the Recording Academy’s Special Merit Awards. Despite never winning a Grammy, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons boast five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Sherry” in 1962. Valli also had two solo No. 1s, including the title track for Grease in 1978. "This has been an incredible evening," he said at the ceremony.
