Tommy DeVito, one of the smooth harmonizing founding members of legendary doo-wop group The Four Seasons, has died from complications of the coronavirus. He was 92.
Actor Alfred Nittoli (“Casino”) confirmed the baritone vocalist and lead guitarist’s passing Tuesday on Facebook.
“My dear friend Tommy passed away in Las Vegas at 9:45 last night,” Nittoli wrote, spurring dozens of emotional condolences. “With deep regret I am writing this sitting in his living room. I was informed by his daughter Darcel there will be a service in New Jersey.”

Some great music....
he died because he was old
Being old didn’t help his situation of course. But had he been shot, you probably wouldn’t say that he died because he was old. You’d say he died because he got shot.
Can Franki Valli and Bob Gaudio stop touring now?
The way they are counting COVID deaths means he could have died from a gunshot wound and still be counted as a COVID death.
He’s the one who gambled away their money and put them under obligation to the mob.
Valli, I read, would not even speak to him for years.
He was 92! Ya think that might have had something to do with it? Idiots.
Reported to SiriusXM by Peppermint Twister Joey Dee, who is 80.
He didn’t die of complications from COVID-19, he died from complications of being 92 friggin’ years old.

At 92 something is bound to get you.
RIP.
Father Time says “This one is mine. He was long overdue. Covid has nuttin to do with it!”
No offense but I never liked doo wop
Especially falsetto doo wap
RIP though
I don’t think, strictly speaking, most their songs were really doo-wop, and later they ventured to disco-ish music.
After the way Tommy screwed over his band mates and the mob, living to age 92 was a huge accomplishment
“Being old didn’t help his situation of course. But had he been shot, you probably wouldn’t say that he died because he was old. You’d say he died because he got shot.”
Not the best analogy.
Nonagenarians generally die from infection related complications.
Never understood why the theme song to the movie “Grease” was done in a disco style.
