Frankie Valli has publicly denied that he is retiring, prompting his brother Bobby to apologise for incorrectly announcing the 92-year-old singer’s departure from performing. The correction reverses a widely reported claim and indicates that Valli intends to continue his career despite recent health concerns.

Valli wrote on Instagram that he was “not retired”, while Bobby said on Facebook that he had been misinformed and wished him a speedy recovery. Bobby has removed the retirement wording from his earlier post; Valli had cancelled further tour dates shortly after his 92nd birthday in May to focus on his health.
