Lady Gaga, who’s known for her bold and iconic sartorial statements, has been serving up looks in the Big Apple over the past days, ahead of her MTV Unplugged special concert with Tony Bennett.
In February, Tony’s family revealed that the 94-year-old singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016. He still continued with his music career following the diagnosis as his neurologist Gayatri Devi believes that singing and performing helps “stimulate his brain in a significant way.”

“His memory, prior to the pandemic, was so much better,” neurologist Gayatri Devi said in an interview published in AARP the Magazine.
“And he’s not alone. So many of my patients are negatively affected by the isolation, the inability to do the things that matter to them. For someone like Tony Bennett, the big high he gets from performing was very important.”

According to Mayo Clinic, “Research suggests that listening to or singing songs can provide emotional and behavioral benefits for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.”
Tony Bennett, who turned 94 on August 4, 2020, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease when he was 90 years old. To battle the disease, his family have encouraged the legendary artist to keep singing.
“Life is a gift – even with Alzheimer’s. Thank you to [his wife] Susan and my family for their support, and @AARP The Magazine for telling my story,” Tony wrote on Twitter.

His third wife, Susan Crow, said he does “not always sure where he is or what is happening around him.”
40 years younger than her husband, the couple met in the singer’s backstage dressing room at one of Bennett’s concerts when she was in her 20s and he was in his early 60s.
They dated for two decades before marrying in a private civil ceremony in New York on June 21, 2007.

For her latest sighting, the Born This Way hitmaker drew attention in a light gray and black polka dot blouse with exaggerated billowy sleeves that fall past her arms.
Allowing the statement-making puff sleeve top to take center stage, Lady Gaga simply tucked it into a classic black high-waisted pencil skirt.
The Grammy winner accessorized her dramatic outfit with Lulu Frost Pearl Ocean stud earrings and an Edward Avedis Clara ring.
Adding a touch of old Hollywood glamour to the look, the Mother Monster styled her hair into a sleek updo and wore a swipe of bright red lipstick with a pair of Illesteva Pamela cat-eye sunnies.
