Music review: Frankie Valli, Hydro, Glasgow

21
FRANKIE Valli has long been plagued by accusations that he mimes in concert. After spending two hours in his company, sitting in a row not far from the stage, it certainly appeared to me to be the case. Does it matter? Not according to the thousands who enjoyed this show. They either didn’t notice or didn’t care that Valli might not have been singing for the most part. Valli entertained them. I wanted to enjoy it too as I’m a fan of his work, but I found it all too sad and embarrassing for comfort. Valli is 84 and this is his farewell tour. I take no pleasure from stating that he should’ve retired years ago.
