The performance comes just months after it was reported that Bennett was battling Alzheimer’s disease. The 94-year-old singer was diagnosed in 2016, but didn’t begin showing signs of the disease until 2018.
"He works out five times a week, he sings twice a week with a pianist that comes over,” Bennett’s wife Susan Crow said at the time his diagnosis became public. “He only understands if something is an ouch then there's a problem. If you ask him how he feels, he says 'I feel great.'"
Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett recorded their upcoming album between 2018 and early 2020. No official release date has been announced.
