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

This is sad news to hear.  Rest in peace, Mr. Bennett.

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.
