Bennett and Gaga are currently preparing for two shows at Radio City Music Hall. The announcement of the duo’s performances came a few months after Bennett’s family revealed that the legendary singer is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The Radio City shows that take place on Tuesday and Thursday are his last live performances in New York.
It is not the first time that Bennett and Lady Gaga have released music together. Love for Sale is the duo’s second album, following their successful 2014 album Cheek to Cheek .
Bennett and Gaga also went on a world tour together after that album. Lady Gaga has always been full of praise for Bennett. “I would never have gotten to where I am today without Tony. He was one of my musical inspirations and I am very grateful to him for that,” said Gaga.
