Let’s Hang On Frankie Valli performs his The Last Encores residency at the Westgate in October 2023. (Image: Ethan Miller/Getty) Frankie Valli has rejected claims — made in a Facebook post from his brother, Bobby Valli — that he is retiring. On Monday (Aug. 17), social media accounts for the 92‑year‑old singer read: “In spite of what you might have heard, I am not retired.” His longtime publicist confirmed the denial. Five days earlier, a Facebook post from Bobby Valli asserted that Frankie was ending his performing career, reflecting on his decades-long legacy. Valli previously canceled nine “Last Encores” tour dates in the U.S., from June through November 2026, to focus on unspecified health issues. His last Las Vegas performance was on Oct. 25, 2025 at the Westgate, while his last touring performance was Feb. 22, 2026 in Temecula, Calif.Valli has no scheduled Las Vegas dates and no active bookings elsewhere. Not Much O’Bliged Mary J. Blige is shown launching her “My Life, My Story” Las Vegas residency on May 1, 2026 at Dolby Live at Park MGM. (Image: Denise Truscello/Getty for Live Nation Las Vegas) Mary J. Blige has rescheduled five shows from her “My Life, My Story: The Las Vegas Residency” at Park MGM’s Dolby Live. The shows — previously set to take place Aug. 28-29 and Sept. 2, 5 and 6, 2026 — have been rebooked to Feb. 12, 13, 17, 19 and 20, 2027. (Blige’s Oct. 23, 24, 28, 30 and 31, 2026 dates appear to be intact.)Blige’s first Las Vegas residency launched on May 1, 2026, featuring a full live band, dancers, and a career‑spanning setlist. Neither the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul nor her reps have offered any public explanation or apology to her fans, many of whom seem less than enthused. “My momma been waiting on this concert for months and you gon cancel and r/s for February??” wrote X user @uhhleyahh. “You workin’ yo way up to Lauryn Hill status when it comes to the bullshit lady.” Ticket-holders for the affected dates are being offered the corresponding February shows, though the residency maintains a no‑refund policy for schedule changes — which seems entirely unfair.Large-scale schedule shifts of this type are commonly attributed to sales or logistical factors.
