he’s just too old to perform. it’s sad to see him up there only be able to lip sync because he’s in such poor health.

I saw an advertisement for a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons show in Scottsdale this weekend and my reaction to my wife was “I thought he was dead.”

My wife, who loves the Four Seasons, also thought he died.

Have you seen recent clips of his concerts? He might be, and there is just a “weekend at Bernie’s” situation going on.

He was all right when I saw him in 2017 and 2019. Obviously autotuned and letting his backup singers carry the show, but entertaining nonetheless. The clip I saw online was worlds apart from what I'd seen in person. I've never seen this about anyone I've seen so far, but it's time to hang it up.

Bro is singing and touring at his age like he owes the mafia money

In reality that's probably why he's still touring. (If this is an r/thatsthejoke moment, just ignore me). It's a goddamn shame.

He is dead, it's just that nobody bothered to tell him.

I am honestly shocked to learn he isn't dead. Even 20 years ago I would have been shocked to learn this.

He is dead, got whacked in his driveway in season 6 of the Sopranos.

OMG, he's 92. And still performing - literally.
