His eyes are so red, I lost my son 7 years ago, the pain never leaves you. So sorry for his loss.
He's drunk
26 years for me
🙏❤️
@MAGASupremacy-i4pI lost my 27 year old son. 4years ago. Brain bleed. During Covid. No Nuro beds here. Flew him to Nashville, Vanderbilt Hospital. Nothing that they could do. I had to try. His mom, my wife passed 4 years before he did. My one son lives with me. They are with Jesus Christ. I will see them again. They asked me about donating his organs. At first I was mad. Then I thought how genuinely my son loved everyone. I said okay. After 2 hours of talking to my family. A grandmother in North Carolina got one his Kidneys. We keep in touch. Robert gave her more time with her grandchildren. We are going next summer to see her. Another wrote and thanked us for tissue she received. I miss him so much. He was so sweet, always doing for others. Why God? I just know we all belong to God. He's at peace. God gives us peace. May you all have a peaceful Christmas. I won't tell you, the pain in my stomach. But I push on. Thank you for listening. ❤
🙏🏼
I lost my 9 year old daughter in 1999. I still miss her every day. The pain of losing a child never leaves you! ❤
Oh! honey! I'm so sorry to hear that. She was still such a little girl. My prayers are with you tonight from California.
🙏🏼
So sorry to hear this. God Bless You and Her.
My son passed with cancer at age 45. Never, ever will I be the same.
So sorry for your loss
Open up your heart to our creator and his wonderful son, ask him to take the deep pain and heavy sorrow away from you, and he will do it. I did after losing my husband of 62 years, and He took all my sorrow away.....and I call it my miracle. He turned my mourning into joy. HalleluYah. I thank him daily.
I certainly understand- I lost my son at 43 from the same
MY sincere condolences I lost my son to cancer 4 years ago he was 46, I’m still coming to terms with losing him, as a mom I feel your pain, trust in the lord he will see us through.
You get your kids back on resurrection morning. Keep going to church.
There’s no pain like the pain of losing a child, no matter what age they are, I know, I lost my son just 4 weeks ago. Age 52 RIP JOHN 🙏🙏💔💔
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
Oh my dear dnorfed…A tribute to your son…
@@dnorfed prays for you and your family, try to remember the good times!
So sorry for your loss
My husband’s sister and her husband lost 2 sons to covid 3 years ago, 19 days apart. Many got covid from the first funeral and the second son died. It was shocking. I am sad for you losing your child. I can’t even imagine that pain. 😢😢❤❤
Exactly! There is no pain like losing your children!!! I lost my son 8 years ago and then my daughter 5 years later. Some days it is more than I can take. So sorry for your losses Mr Valli.
Baby girl 😭❤️
I am so sorry for your losses, I would like to give you a big hug...♥
So sorry for your loses I lost 2 brothers within 4 yrs from one another from drug overdoses I miss them so much my mom passed away when she was 42 yrs old in 1979 .🌻🌻🌻
🙏🙏🙏Im so sorry for your loss
I'm in this club too. Lost my 27 yr.old son 9yrs ago and my daughter last year. I'm alone now. There's no greater pain to live with. I'm so sorry to all who have this burden to carry. Frankie Valle's music I've loved since I was a kid.
My only child, my son John, age 52, died COVID related. On Dec 14 it will be 3 years. The pain never ever stops. I went for help to The Compassionate Friends Grief Group. It's group leaders have lost a child, as well. I also see a Grief Counselor. Without these wonderful people I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. Prayers also help. I'm having brain surgery in January. Mr. Valli I'm very sorry for your many losses. God bless you. Let the tears fall. They express our love and extreme pain.❤
I’m so sorry I don’t know that I’d survive it ♥️
Yes, The Compassionate Friends helped me SO MUCH after I lost my first born son. Amazing support for all of us! Many tears!😥💔💔
You get your kids back on resurrection morning. Keep going to church.
@@Fashn4LaDieSplease don't say that to a person who has lost a child! Speaking as someone who has
They had PLENTY of FREE Covid-19 vaccine by December, 2021. INCLUDING TWO BOOSTERS. SORRY he was a Trumper.
Frankie is a true legend 😊.. So sorry for your losses 😔 🙏
I lost my son, William, in 2015 at the age of 29. Every day is still hard. A neverending heartbreak.
This Jan, will be ten years I lost my 35 year old son, I still grieve ❤, you’ll always have a place in your heart for your children, I pray the Lord comfort, all who have lost loves ones, God bless you all❤
❤🙏
Sorry for your loss! It will be ten years this Feb for me, my son was almost 33 ❤❤
My first born son died at a week old, he would be 35 now, they say the pain fades but for me, it never has, and I know it never will. I love you Samuel Kirk, I hope you’re with your dad.
“Who am I to wish him back into this world of strife? No, play on my angel for you have eternal life”.❤love to all who KNOW the pain, you will be reunited❤
You’re not alone, Mr. Frankie Valli my dad raised us when my mom left us with my dad he raised three boys and two girls on his own as a single . . Parent. two of my brothers passed away very young nine months apart . My dad was broken, he was never the same 😢 but that’s when his faith kicked in and he said I know God will get me through this. He prayed a lot. I will never know what he is feeling, but God does and I believe that he walk my dad through the worst storm of his life. 💯🙏🙌♥️
This man gave the world so much delight in music all his life.
He didn't deserve all this pain 💔 😔 😢. Gosh life really is cruel 💔
I lost my son in 2017 when he was 34 years young. It is still so painful. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. Crying comes easily just by visualizing him. I am crying now.
I saw him in concert about a year or so ago in Texas and he was so great and had a good voice even at his age. Very good entertainer.
Prayers for you Frankie. I pray god heals your soul and pain. Thank you for the music
I cannot imagine.. 2 children!! My 27 yr old precious so died at age 27 some years ago.. there is nothing worse than losing an adult child! My condolences to this man 🙏
I am so very sorry. Life is so unfair I can't imagine your pain
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. 💔😥
😢
Losing a child is what happened to my great grandfather, his son Billy died at age 8. I know that was rough and tough because Billy didn't have the chance of a life.
@@itravisoni So, so, devastating. Here's to knowing your grandparent will be with his son in hHeaven, imho.
I still love Oh What a Night December 1963. Condolences to him for his awful losses.
So so sorry for your loss. Wonderful singer...ok to drink to medicate against the terrible pain. I will never forget 'Can't take my eyes off you' came on in taxi after visiting my elderly blind mother. 😢💜🙋🏼♀️🐨
It's never ok to drink alcohol to handle pain, heartbreak.
Oh Frankie I am so sorry for you n your family it must be so painful I am so sorry❤
Ok, get off the moralizing bandwagon. It's not helpful.@@hazy9785
@@hazy9785 Sorry but I just will not judge those who do. Yes, we all do not want a fellow human being to get lost in an addiction. But if you are in so much emotional pain, I can sympathize that you are self medicating.
@@ScottsdaleSushi
Understood.
Thankfully he found a new love and created a new child/children to help him mend and get away from alcohol.
I'm very anti drugs anti alcohol anti tobacco. We all pay in the end for abuses.
No judgement, just needs to end somehow.
Dan Rather....a true class act....a genuine gentleman full of love and respect. One of the last good men. Love you Dan. Frankie Valli, so much love to you. We all make mistakes, we learn. You are loved.
Dan Rather is an idiot. You don't remember him getting fired from CBS for lying about George Bush!!!!
He got fired.
I lost my daughter to this world 3 yrs ago, she was 42, but the peace comes when you know, and that she went home and I will see her by the riverside! Praise Jesus!! 🙏
I lost my 42 year old son nearly 3 yrs ago. I know I will see him again in Heaven but living without him and watching his children live without him is torture. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. 💔
So sorry. May God bless you. I listen to your songs everyday. Children are gold
Nope.
Dan was the best interviewer. Such a compassionate man.
I'm so happy Mr. Valli came through such unimaginable despair.
"Compassionate?" Idiot. He asked that question purely to get a sad reaction. How do YOU, think he felt, Einstein?
Dan was the best! Don’t make them like him anymore!
@@charlottestricker1030 Did you forget why he was forced out of CBS?? He was a liar!
I lost a son the pain and emptiness is always there
I have loved this man and his music for over 60 years. Sorry for your loss.
Dan is so gentle and kind. W very delicate situations the best 😇
Late December back in 63! Beautifully sang and produced!
I'm so happy that he's found hope again ❤ May his blessings continue 🙏
30 years ago my 16 year old daughter was murdered. You never get over it.
🙏🏼
My heart goes out to Frankie Valli.
Walking through the storm is the only way. Good times don’t last, bad times don’t last. Prayers for you, Frankie. I’ve always loved your sound. Brings back lots of memories. I wish you much peace and joy.
Lost my son 6 years ago. RIP TJ ❤
Love Frankie !
True Talent!
😢
I saw the 4 Seasons many times. So very sorry for your loss. I also lost my son.
Me too. Mine was murdered when he was 17. Heartbreaking. .isn't it. ?!!
Lost my oldest son 3 years ago~ the heart ache never leaves. 🙏💜

God bless you, may his angels always be near to comfort you❤🙏
I hear you Cindy. I lost my only son Mark 12 years ago. The pain is never far away.
I am so very sorry I can't imagine your pain
So sorry... 😢

God bless you Frankie! I'm so sorry for your losses! Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You is my absolute favorite! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seen him perform not long ago. Wonderful performance! God bless you Mr. V
I have to say so sorry for the loses of Frankie and all the people that have posted, so very sorry
PRAYERS 🙏 DEAR MAN
GOD BE WITH YOU
Having to bury your child is absolutely the hardest thing, keeping you in my prayers!!!
Can’t take my eyes of you ,best song of its time and still has a punch !
I feel your pain, I’m so glad you cleaned up your life ,God is so good
I was 12 yo, when Sherry came out. I played that 45 on a record player (not stereo) & wore it out. I’ve been a fan since then of The Four Seasons.
Oh my! I knew about the one child but not the second! Amazing recovery by Frankie Valli! Such talented people including Bob Gaudio and the late Bob Crewe. We are very grateful for their huge contributions to music.
Thanks for this AXS!
So sad. Frankie Valli seems to be a very sweet man. I went to a concert of his in the 70's in Jersey, he held my hand and sang "My Eyes Adore You" to me, it was very sweet, I was 17 years old at the time.
I wish that type pain on no one. He said it right it never ,ever leave you With the help if my heavenly father coping on a daily basis 🙏🏾
😢
Sorry to hear of Frankie Valli s tragic loss. God bless him and prayers for him🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
That's terrible 😢😢😢 losing children is a nightmare
I love that he picked "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" for memorial music. My father loved when I sang that at karaoke 🎤 one night. I will always think of my father and Frankie when I hear that song.
I prefer " My eyes adored You*
@@cocoaorange1 That's a good one too! Thanks for mentioning it. TBH, I thought he would say that.
I met Frankie Valli more than likely just before his divorce... he and his wife at that time had twin boys who were running around the house during my work related visit.
I lost a brother when he was 4. Even although I was a baby and I obviously don’t remember , my mother never stopped speaking about him he was in all our lives growing up. My mother kept him with us so we would always be a family. She never forgot him and she died 50 years later. It’s a pain that never left then. My dad never spoke about him. But people grieve in different ways.
"Music is medicine for the soul! I'm sorry for your loss."
Dan Rather is a GREAT interviewer… STELLAR ⭐️
I love him. ❤ from Amsterdam
I'm seeing all these parents who are stating they lost children. This wrecks me. I'm so sorry for everyone who lost a child. I'm so very sorry.😢
I am so sorry for your loss! My beautiful daughter passed away June 4, 2020. She had just turned 19. Our life’s have changed forever! The pain is like no other and only those that have had a loss of a child can understand. Grief drains you and it is very exhausting because of the pain and stress that it causes on the body. I have learned to throw my burden on Jehovah God and wait for his promises Revelation 21:4/John 5:28,29. Accept the help and support from friends and family. I spend my time keeping busy by doing volunteer work, helping others as much as possible. I also started a little garden. Day by day! God bless!🙏🌺
Heartbreaking all around.
Frankie is one of the best singers of all time. Goodness he is handsome.
I love Beggin. That's his best song imho.
I haven’t been in this situation but, I know a person loosing his wife and two kids at the same time 34 plus years ago. He is the strongest man I’ve ever seen. God bless him and everyone that been going through these tough times.❤️🙏🏼
My son took his own life and died a week before he turned 20. His twin is 32 now. The pain is still crippling every day. If I hadn't had other children I very much believe that I wouldn't still be here on this earth.
Poor Soul may he Rest in Eternal Peace 🙏🙏❤
So sorry for your loss Frankie… amazing how well he looks! I hope it is OK to share a funny encounter I had with Frankie Valli and his band in the early 70’s.
I was a young 19 year old girl who got some vacation time to visit a friend in Phoenix,Arizona. When I had to take my return flight home, my friend dropped me off late and I almost missed my flight. I remembered as I was checking in, a group of men being asked about their carry on luggage. They were wearing strange outfits and had long hair but they were like in their 30’s & 40’s, mostly young kids wore their hair long. I remember one guy saying it was a Flute he was carrying … I’m thinking how strange… why is he carrying a Flute? At the same time I’m thinking could you all please get out of my way … I’m trying to catch a flight!!
Well, it turns out these men were trying to catch the same flight and we were all running up the ramp of stairs to get on the plane and I probably jumped over a few of them …LOL! The plane had to make a stop in Tucson and while waiting I saw a guy in same aisle but on other side of the plane being approached by a man who came up to speak to him and they spoke briefly. I recognized that it was Frankie Valli. I asked the guy if that was him and he said YES. Then the guy told me I can take you back there to meet him … I was shy and said NO … but he insisted so,I got up and took my camera. Most of the band members were sitting in the back and were flirting with the Stewardess in the back. I got to meet Frankie Valli and he politely let me take a photo with him and some of his band members, they were all nice.
I shared that photo with friends & family as that was probably the first time I ever met a famous person and I really liked his music and singing! I realized later that the band probably wanted to board last and probably had just performed in Phoenix or were going to perform in LA and why they were wearing their outfits that I thought were strange for these older men that I encountered at the airport. A passenger also told me that when they came on the plane that the passengers recognized them .. apparently I came on with the guys whose bags were being checked because they carried instruments .. so I missed Frank Valli who got on before us as I had no idea Frankie Valli and his band were on the flight so I missed the excitement 😊😮😂
I was fortunate enough to take my wife, who was a big fan of Frankie Valli to see him perform in the UK a few years ago, he was great. At my wifes' funeral last year we played " My eyes adored you". Nothing prepares you for losing your partner or children, no matter what their ages are. And I don't think that you ever get over it, you just learn to live with it.
Dan so great to see you hear your special😊voice. Frankie the loss of your children has to be be the greatest pain your life turned around for only the best with your beautiful gifted voice all your songs are great.
That is one Class Act guy. I’ve been a radio personality and DJ much of my life and Frankie is a talent like no other. Unique in vocal range the opposite of what I wanted for my own voice. I always wanted to be able to match guys like Richard Sterban but Frankie was the Bomb on hitting the high notes. I admire him so much for what he has gone through and still performing at his age. He took care of himself over the years. Thank you Frankie for the great music.
My favorite Frankie Valli song was called my eyes adored you❤
Great interviews.
So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how it feels to lose a child. You see three months after I got married I got pregnant. I fell down a flight of stairs and I miscarriaged. I was so sad 😢 that I lost my child. I was never able to have another child. I have seen you Frankie Valli in person twice. Again I am so sorry for your loss. 😢😢🙏🙏🙏
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. 😥💔
My heart ❤️ is with you.
I hear you, I know the pain, there are no words, except, I understand all too well.
Hugs 🤗 🌹
So so sorry for your loss. 😅😅
@@mariamadsen7071
Thank you so much. I just wish that I was able to have at least one child. My husband was deeply hurt but he said it's okay at least we have each other.
I'm not married, and have never had, much less lost a child, but I clearly have seen the pain. My mom's best friend's son overdosed of heroine when he was twenty-three. The look of loss and eternal pain on her face at his funeral stills aches me now.
People say "you're not a parent...you can't understand the pain. To which I say "I've never been bit by a tiger...but I know it must be awfully painful."
Losing a child is something you never recover from, I lost my 18 year old son to suicide almost 20 years ago, I've learnt to live with it, as I don't have a choice, but he's always there in my mind, and tooled away inside my heart
My condolences. I lost my mom and brother less than 3 months apart. The jolt shakes you to your core.
My gosh, I’m terribly sorry. 😓🙏🏻
Frankie Valli a voice from my teenage years. May he have many more years with us.
My deepest condolences to you, I can understand and feel your pain, as a parent it’s the worst pain any parent can feel. I lost two of my kids my daughter died in March and my son in October. I felt pain so unimaginable that I thought I had nothing to live for . It’s been four years now and I’m still on depression pills, I have my good days and bad days, but I’m glad I had the lord to lean on I could not do it alone. I still celebrate my daughter Nicole’s birthday and my son John birthday, so to Mr Vali trust in the lord he is the only one that can pull you through. If you have to cry let the tears flow do not suppress it it’s acknowledging our undying love for them even if they are not here, Keep loving them. I hope and pray that you find peace in your heart, I will keep you in my prayers and to everyone that lost a child .
I know how he feels lost our son 6 months and pain is so hard
My youngest is 38. I can not imagine the pain of losing one of my kids. My grandmother would say she didn’t want to outlive her children. We consider it a blessing she passed the year before one of her grandsons (29) was killed and the next year a great-grandson (15) 😢
My deepest sympathy to Frankie. I lost my 2 oldest sons 29 days apart in 2018. One loss was expected, the other not. Both just as painful. We keep living because they would want us to, but the grief we will carry forever. Prayers for everyone on here who has lost a child.
My daughter passed away on 27th December. My heart is broken. There is no pain like this. I have to be strong for my grandchildren. My heart goes out to you x❤
I’ve loved him since middle school and now almost 60. I’m sorry for the loss it’s one I think you never get over
I'm so sorry for your loss. So painful. Sending you courage and love and strength.
I love FRANKIE VALLI AND DAN RATHER TOO❤❤❤❤
May God heal your hearts, and comfort your souls.❤
Hands down ,it’s Sherry for me,when I was 10 we had a pool table in our garage my older brother and I and all of his cute friends would listen to the radio ,this is niw 65 years ago,when Sherry came on ,I would yell across the street to my best friend and her brother “Sherry’s on ,they would come over and we would dance ,dance dance ,really great memories.
Sounds like you had a great childhood🎉
My mom lost a son and a daughter 1 year apart John 35 left 2 kids behind Alicia 44 no kids died of same medical issue it almost broke my mother
One day at a time and GOD'S HELP
So very sorry.
I met him in 1970 I was a travel counselor for AAA in Minnesota they were doing a bus tour.What a nice polite guy..Its so hard to lose a loved one and hard when the holidays come around .Lost. my husband 2 years sgo..Met him about the same time I met Mr Valli 😢
I'm sure Mr. Valli will help many people with this interview.
Losing a child is like losing a hand. As a 16 year old, I worked as a lab aide in a hematology research lab at Hahnemann Hospital and Medical College in downtown Philadelphia. Watching young children bleed out from acute leukemias was one of the most heart wrenching things I'd ever witnessed in my life. To witness a mother screaming at the hematologist to do something for her daughter when (at that time) there was nothing that could be done just brought me to tears. It gave me a sense of empathy that most teenagers would ever have. Later in my life I had to watch my partner of some 23 years go through death from cancer. My experiences in the past still did not prepare me for that event. I've come to the realization that death is a part of life - one we all will eventually experience. If I can face it with lack of fear I'll be grateful.
Almost went to see him in the first row last year but was in the hospital
My dad met him in 1963 after a Virginia Tech football game Frankie was in the state my dad rode up on his bike they talked a long fine and my dad said he was very nice.
I asked my dad why didn’t he get his autograph and my dad said I didn’t know they were going to be famous
Great singer
Just the thought of losing even one of my two sons brings tears to my eyes, so I can’t imagine the pain of losing my two! 😪
Is this a recent interview? Mr. Valli looks marvelous!
He's 90 years old now and still looks great.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I offer my sincere condolences to Frankie. May God heal and comfort his broken 💔.
Who Loves You is one of the best all time songs ever
You should always include the date of when the interview was recorded. This isn't recent.
Fallen Angel wonderful underrated song.
My heart.
Breaks for all of you who mentioned about losing your adult children? I lost my 30 two-year-old daughter to suicide at the home that she lived with her husband and she was the youngest of my 4 and my heart is forever broken. I sometimes never wanna go on. I do God bless all mom's who have lost children to suicide.
So, so sorry 💔 I'm praying God give you strength and hope🙏 Please stay strong.
That poor soul. God bless you Frankie.
Great talent .It is sad to see Frankie on stage now. Reminds me of sctv skit Perry Como Still Alive on youth… funny , watch it.
Loved that skit ! Perry como ‘ I love the night life ‘ 😂
He loves to work. That must have helped him. What an entertainer!
My daughter is 46 and does not talk to me over a misunderstanding on her part she is tearing my heart out im 74 terrible thing to do to a 74 yr old mom who dedicated her life to her children she threw me away not talking to me😢😢😢😢😢
Grief is the devil. There is no escaping the pain. At the end he said he enjoyed the interview. He got to talk about his grief. Ppl don’t want to hear it. So we do it alone. 😢
Love frankie ❤
The media loves the word “closure”. That’s a bullsh-t term. There is no closure, ever. I haven’t lost a family member, but my best friend was killed in Florida and the pain stays with me 40 years later.
My grandparents passed away an uncle a cousin and my parents 😫💔 but when our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 😫💔😭😭 when the dr walked in he was crying and he put the X-ray up and look Jed at me and pointed that is a tumor and I do not know what kind 😫💔😭I fell to my knees HYSTERICAL screaming my baby 😫😭 I KNEW THAT OUR SMALL FAMILY WE HAD A FIGHT AHEAD OF US we were rushed to the hospital in California 🌴 he did chemo after chemo then surgery then leg amputation 💙💔 the cancer kept coming back then it came back on his spine we took him home and he passed away in my arms at home we also had a daughter 🎀 this was a true test on our marriage 👍 out of even my parents this hit us HARD WATCHING YOUR CHILD SUFFER NOT TO MENTION THERE WERE BABIES WITH CANCER PART OF ME DIED WITH HIM I WILL NEVER BE THE PERSON I WAS BEFORE THIS NIGHTMARE
