He was 96. Such a great singer. Are there any other singers from his era left? R.I.P.

One of the greatest "crooners" of all time. Such a voice. Sing on, Tony.

Breaks my heart, I saw him once solo and once with Lady Gaga. My late Mom loved his songs with Lady Gaga, and that's how she started loving Lady Gaga too.

When I saw him solo I could tell he was having problems remembering lyrics, wasn't long after that that it was announced that he had Alzheimer's.

Rest in peace legend and sweet man Tony🙏

Oh wow. Not that at 96 it's shocking, but you know...it always still takes us aback to hear.

I was never a fan, but admired how he kept performing and staying relevent into his 90's, like performing with Lady Gaga etc.

Another "end of an era" iconic performer gone.

RIP 🕯️

Just last night I was thinking of his performance with Lady Gaga. We will all remember Tony Bennett as one of the greatest.

My father loved Tony Bennett especially the song "I Left My Heart In San Francisco". We had at that time an 8 track in our car and he played it over & over. We still laugh about it.

Connie Francis is still alive & kicking. She posts to FB often.

Tony Bennett the singer, not Tony Bennett the Virginia basketball coach. RIP. He was remarkable.

Although Mr. Tony Bennett got the gift of longevity, it's still sad to know another one of the great ones has died.

Rest in peace, Mr. Bennett, and thank you for all of your wonderful musical contributions.

Is it odd that the first person I thought of when I heard this was Lady Gaga?

I think that's because of how much she obviously loved and admired and idolized him. He spoke so highly of her too. On the surface a completely unexpected friendship, but they became true friends because they didn't care about surface

Also thinking so much about his wife Susan.

Wonder voice.

There was press when he performed with Lady Gaga, it mentioned how kind and respectful she was toward him. Sure made me think more highly of her.
