The Four Seasons went down due to Tommy’s debt. Fortunately, the band and debt collector came to an agreement: Tommy is to be “ostracized” to Las Vegas where the mob can keep eye an eye on him and the band will willingly cover the debt. At the time, Nick announced that he is out of the band. In winter, the band’s name changed to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons because Bob is not comfortable in the spotlight and Frankie was alone. Frankie and Bobby worked hard to pay off all the debts until at last Tommy’s debt can be paid off and Frankie’s life improved. But unfortunately, Frankie’s son died of a drug overdose.
