"I put him on these shows that were, you know, 60,000 kids at RFK Stadium, between Nine Inch Nails and PJ Harvey," he added."And, you know, it was a little nerve-wracking.""He turned to me and he said, 'Can I ask you a question?' And he goes, 'You think Frank would do this?' And I said No ....'
When Tony Bennett was first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, said Benedetto, she and Danny Bennett assumed his career would slow down.Danny Bennett added,"We’d take him to the doctor and he’d go, 'What am I-- why am I here?' Lady Gaga has broken her silence on the passing of her pal, Tony Bennett, more than one week after his death. On Monday, the "Applause" singer took to Instagram to share an intimate photo of herself embracing the 96-year-old and wrote a moving tribute. "I will miss my friend forever. I will miss singing with him, recording with him, talking with him, being on stage together. With Tony, I got to live my life in a time warp. Tony & I had this magical power.
"We would leave," added Benedetto."And Tony’s like, 'Susan. I’m really okay. We don’t have to come back.'" Tony Bennett sang until the end of his life, said Benedetto, adding that the last tune he belted out was"Because of You," his very first hit."That he loved me... he would wake up every day and still say that," she said."He woke up happy every day."
