Tony Bennett, a well-known performer whose voice personified the American Songbook, has passed away. He was 96.
Bennett passed away in the early hours of Friday in New York City, according to a spokesperson for the singer. Despite receiving an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis in 2016, he continued to occasionally give live performances and release new music despite his illness. Thanks to his second duet album with Lady Gaga, Love For Sale, he entered the Billboard Top 10 at the age of 95 in 2021. That same year, he also celebrated his retirement with two emotional performances at Radio City Music Hall.
