Lady Gaga to reunite with Tony Bennett for MTV Unplugged special
30 June 2021
Lady Gaga is to reunite with singing legend Tony Bennett for a special concert on Friday.
The pair will perform an MTV Unplugged gig, during which they'll belt out songs from their new standards album.
The show is set to be recorded at an undisclosed New York location and all audience members are required to be fully vaccinated or bring proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken that morning.
The performance comes four months after it was revealed in AARP magazine that Bennett, 94, was battling Alzheimer's disease.
The crooner learned he was battling the degenerative disease of the brain four years ago, but only began showing real signs of decline in 2018, when he began to record the follow-up to Cheek to Cheek, his 2014 album with Gaga.
The new album was originally slated to be released in spring 2021 but no official release date has been announced.
