ProfessionalClown 10,647 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I just know Gaga is in shambles right now. She was probably there (hopefully) if it was a hospice type situation considering how close they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juniper 1,007 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 96 is a respectful age. I’m hoping he went peacefully after living a fulfilled life. I’m thinking of how Gaga feels right now since she’s the closest link I have to him. I know she loved him and how he helped her through things, making her believe in music and life again so I’m forever thankful for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papergangstuh 2,655 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 96 is ****ing iconic and a long life. Speaking from experience when something like alzheimers/dementia come into play (especially over years) you've been mourning them in some way already. I hope all of his loved ones are ok.

bornthisway135 611 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tony-bennett-iconic-standards-singer-dies-96-rcna42450 “Tony Bennett, one of the most beloved and recognizable voices in the history of American popular music, died Friday at 96, less than two weeks shy of his birthday, his publicist said in a statement. Bennett died in his hometown of New York, Sylvia Weiner said. A cause was not immediately disclosed. Bennett provided the soundtrack for generations of romantic evenings and proved that his timeless brand of standards could have broad, consistent appeal as the music industry shifted with the rise of rock and rap. In recent years, even as his velvety voice found purchase with a new generation, he privately faced a cognitive disorder. On Feb. 1, 2021, his family said in AARP magazine that Bennett had Alzheimer’s for the previous five years — even though he still managed to record more music. “Life is a gift — even with Alzheimer’s,” Bennett’s official account tweeted at the time. And what a gift it was: The life and career of Bennett, a World War II veteran and a civil rights activist, could provide fodder for a number of biopics, but his most enduring legacy is likely to be his unique vocal style, which made him a superstar in the 1950s and helped him enjoy a remarkable second act over the last 25 years of his life. “The way that we dispose of music all the time, and dispose of art and decades (past) all the time, as if they’re dated, that being nostalgic is for geeks — it’s painful,” Bennett’s friend and frequent collaborator Lady Gaga said in 2015. “So much of the music that has been introduced through the Great American Songbook, through Fred Astaire, is passed on through generations of men and women, and Tony is one of those men.”” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
