Lady Gaga, Michael Buble and more to honor Tony Bennett for his 90th birthday special:- A number of celebrities are about to honor Tony Bennett in his 90th birthday special.
Airing on Tuesday night on NBC, the official list of the performers and guests was released.
The performers include: Andrea Bocelli, Michael Buble, Lady Gaga, Billy Joel, Elton John, Diana Krall, K.D. Lang, Leslie Odom Jr., Rufus Wainwright and Stevie Wonder.
Other guest celebrities expected to appear are Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, Robert De Niro, John McEnroe, Wynton Marsalis, Kevin Spacey and Bruce Willis.
At 90-years-old, Tony definitely has something worth celebrating.
His career has been filled with accomplishments such as five Grammy Awards and becoming an icon of the popular hits Body and Soul, Anything Goes and the classic I Left My Heart In San Francisco.
Due to the title of his TV special on Tuesday known as Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet To Come, it’s safe to say that his life in music isn’t over yet.
With Lady Gaga being one of the few big names to honor the legend, the two became good pals as they recorded the album Cheek To Cheek together.
Working with each other gave these two something new they can appreciate based on what Tony told Channel Guide Magazine last month.
‘[Gaga] has that young audience- she doesn’t have my audience, you know,’ the jazz star explained. ‘By performing with us, she gave me her audience, and I gave her my audience- so that’s everybody.’
At this point, the man couldn’t be happier with his success and couldn’t be more grateful to his fans.
‘I’m blessed with the fact that the public admires my work, and I just never want to let them down,’ Tony said.
‘I like to give them a full performance, so they walk out feeling very good about what happened that night.’
