Valli stated, “I’m taking the rest of the year off from touring to focus on my health.” He also thanked supporters for their well-wishes and looks forward to returning to the stage when possible.

Following his announcement, fans have shown support, emphasizing the importance of his health. On Instagram, one follower commented, “I am so glad that you are taking time to take care of yourself, wishing you and your wife some relaxation and quiet time.” Others echoed similar sentiments, appreciating his contribution to music.
