Lady Gaga marks last concert with Tony Bennett
In September, only one month after Bennett announced his retirement from performing, the two powerhouses came together for their second album together. The record is a tribute to Cole Porter, a composer and songwriter. While speaking with people, the A Star is Born actor had said, "I think it was the next day, after the record released and had gone No. 1, he said, 'I wanna make this Cole Porter record with you,' and I said I would do it, and then guess what? We did it!"
Speaking with the publication Variety, Bennett's son and manager Danny indicated that it would be the singer's last gig when they played back-to-back shows at Radio City Music Hall. They also informed the publication that there will be no more concerts. "We struggled with this decision because he is a capable performer. This, however, is a doctor's order," said Bennett’s son to Variety.
