“Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” music legend Frankie Valli is struggling through some “tough times” with his health, but he’s looking forward to getting back on the road. That’s the word from his rep, who told People that Valli has “had some tough times, but he’s getting through them, and he’s improving. He is looking forward to being back on the road, and he is not retired.” Valli, 92, cancelled the rest of his Four Seasons farewell tour dates for the year in May, worrying fans that his performing days might be over. “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,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon.” A painfully thin Valli was seen in public for the first time in months last week, being helped out of a black Mercedes in Los Angeles, Page Six reported. Details about his health issues have not been released. “Be loyal to what you’re doing and love what you’re doing,” Valli urged in an interview earlier this year. “If I had not become successful, I’d probably still be working in some little bar. I love music that much.”
