Tony Bennett has Alzheimer’s
February 1st, 2021 under Tony Bennett. [ Comments: none ]


Tony Bennett has a new album coming out, and he is doing for press for it. However, his wife, Susan, revealed to AARP magazine something else that has been going on in his life since 2016. That is when the 94-year-old singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

While the disease is slowly taking its toll on him and his memory, it has not affected his love of music. In fact, he still rehearses with a pianist twice a week.

Susan has become his caregiver and has been taking care of him nonstop since the pandemic started. She is not alone and has a good team backing her up, including his doctors.

His doctor, Gayatri Devi, M.D., told the magazine, he has “cognitive issues, but multiple other areas of his brain are still resilient and functioning well.” Then she added, “He is doing so many things, at 94, that many people without dementia cannot do. He really is the symbol of hope for someone with a cognitive disorder.”

Things like recording with Lady Gaga. The two worked on their album in 2018 and 2020.

Since being diagnosed, he has not experienced the anger that comes from the disease. He also knows who his loved ones are. Hopefully, he remains that way. As anyone, who knows someone who has had the disease, can tell you, it is the worst part of it.

I pray he has stabilized and for both Tony and his wife. Gd bless her for remaining by his side throughout all of this. That is not an easy thing to do, and she is not taking the easy way out.

Is Tony Bennett really 93?
August 3rd, 2019 under Are they really their age?, Tony Bennett. [ Comments: none ]


Today is Tony Bennett’s 93rd birthday. However, you would never believe it looking at this photo he posted today with his wife, Susan. I guess if you marry a woman 40 years younger than you are, it is going to keep young. So much so, he looks like a man in 60’s and not his 90’s.

How does he feel about being 7 years away from turning 100? He said, “Wow! I’m 93 today and I feel like I am just getting started…”

Happy birthday! Here is too many more.

Is Lady Gaga trying to look as old as Tony Bennett?
February 8th, 2015 under Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett. [ Comments: none ]


Lady Gaga is only 28 years old, but the singer is looking as old as the man she released an album full of duets with. That man is Tony Bennett and he is 60 years her senior.
I don’t know who her told the grey wig looks good on her, but they lied to Poker Face. Unless it was her duet partner, then it makes total sense.

It had to be Tony Bennett and Carrie Underwood on Blue Bloods!
August 1st, 2011 under Carrie Underwood, CBS, Tony Bennett. [ Comments: none ]


Tony Bennett might have left his heart in San Fransisco, but he will leave an impression on the season premiere of Blue Bloods. The singer that every other musician wants to duet with will be singing with Carrie Underwood on the CBS cop show. The two powerful voices will merge as one as they sing It Had to Be You at a fundraiser for the new Mayor. Frank Reagan aka Tom Selleck will be there to hear them duet, but I was kind of hoping that Donnie Wahlberg’s character would be there too so he could join in with them during the September 23rd episode.
Seriously who doesn’t love this show. I wasn’t expecting to like this show, but its my favorite new show from last season that is coming back for a second one.

UPDATE: The New Kid on the Block confirmed he didn’t work with Bennett and Underwood on Twitter, Donnie Wahlberg Tweeted “Carrie Underwood & Tony Bennett were here today on the Blue Bloods set… I was busy chasing bad guys and missed them! :(” Bummer.
