It is with great sadness that we at the Euro Weekly News say goodbye to one of the Costa del Sol’s most loved entertainers, Frankie Valentine.
Over many years, Frankie brought joy, laughter, music and unforgettable memories to countless people across the coast. A fabulous performer with incredible charisma, he played at many Euro Weekly News events, always lighting up the room with his wonderful voice, his charming ways and those famous twinkling eyes that made everyone feel special.
But beyond the stage lights and applause, Frankie will be remembered most for the kindness, warmth and respect he showed to everyone he met. He was not only a consummate entertainer, but also one of life’s true gentlemen, a man who made people smile simply by being in the room.
Michel and Steven, founders of the Euro Weekly News, together with all of the EWN team, both past and present, would like to offer our deepest sympathies to Val and the entire family during this incredibly sad time.
The coast has lost far more than a talented performer. It has lost one of the finest gentlemen ever to grace our community.
Rest in peace, kind sir.
You will never be forgotten.
Message from Frankie’s wife:
In loving memory of Frank Valentine, who sadly passed away peacefully on 10 May after a short illness. Much-loved husband, father and grandad to Val, Harry, Ellie and Frankie. He was a well-known entertainer who made everybody feel special and was loved by all. His infectious personality lit up every room, and nothing was ever too much for him. He will be greatly missed by many, never forgotten and in our hearts forever.
