Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett releasing new album together. Lady Gaga and jazz icon Tony Bennett have made a new album together through the latter’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease, marking the pair’s first collaborative LP since the release of their 2014 hit Cheek to Cheek. EW has confirmed the news following a new AARP profile and subsequent interview with Gayle King on CBS This Morning, in which Bennett’s family revealed news of the album while discussing the 94-year-old’s 2016 diagnosis with the neurodegenerative illness. The writer of the AARP profile described seeing documentary footage of Bennett’s recording sessions with Gaga, noting that the singer appeared “considerably more muted” in the studio, describing Gaga as a nurturing partner between takes.
