Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lady Gaga celebrates Tony Bennett's birthday after his death
Caption: Lady Gaga celebrates Tony Bennett's birthday after his death. In an Instagram post, the Born This Way hitmaker remembered the late I Left My Heart In San Francisco singer in honour of his birthday. ”Happy Birthday Tony. August 3rd is Tony Bennett Day. A day for smiling. But I'll be celebrating you a lot more than once a year.” "I'll celebrate you every time I'm on stage singing jazz music, every time I'm with your family, every time I walk down the streets of New York I'll look around and remember all you did for this city and the whole world.” Tony - who would have been 97 years old on Thursday - died on 21 July following a battle with Alzheimer's disease. Several days after his death, Lady Gaga paid tribute to her friend and collaborator. ”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.” Alongside a photo of herself and the late singer hugging, she continued: ”We transported ourselves to another era, modernized the music together, & gave it all new life as a singing duo.” ‘I love you Tony, Love Lady’. Tony and Gaga collaborated on the 2014 album Cheek to Cheek and 2021 follow-up Love for Sale, for which they won Grammys for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. The U.S. Senate passed a resolution earlier this week declaring 3 August as Tony Bennett Day. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
