Gaga’s first collaboration with Bennett was for the 2014 album Cheek to Cheek, which topped the Billboard 200. In September, they released their second album together, Love For Sale, which is up for album of the year at the 2022 Grammys.
In a conversation for BBC Radio 2‘s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Gaga revealed her final performances with Bennett, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, were exceptionally special. “If you are with that person that you love, play some music from their childhood and I promise you that they will come to life in a way that is not expected, and not everyone you know, every case is different and everybody’s different, but they’re still there and my heart goes out to you,” Gaga said. “This album was made while he had Alzheimer’s and we sang it while he had Alzheimer’s and he was still able to do it, I am just floored by him.”
A 95th birthday celebration and a tribute to his decades-long career, Tony Bennett’s final performances to sold-out crowds were like he never left the stage.
