00:00 Lady Gaga is paying tribute to her dear friend and collaborator, the late Tony Bennett.
00:05 Gaga remembered Bennett in a touching social media post dedicated to the legendary singer
00:10 who died on July 21 in his hometown of New York City at the age of 96.
00:16 She wrote, "I will miss my friend forever.
00:18 I will miss singing with him, recording with him, talking with him, being on stage together.
00:23 With Tony I got to live my life in a time warp.
00:26 Tony and I had this magical power.
00:28 We transported ourselves to another era, modernized the music together and gave it all new life
00:34 as a singing duo.
00:35 But it wasn't an act.
00:36 Our relationship was very real."
00:38 The performer also went on to share how Bennett taught her about music, life and maintaining
00:43 a positive attitude.
00:45 He was an optimist.
00:46 He believed in quality work and quality life.
00:49 Plus there was the gratitude.
00:51 Tony was always grateful.
00:52 The singer added that they had a "very long and powerful goodbye" and although there was
00:57 a large age gap between them, he was her "real true friend."
01:01 Bennett's publicist shared news of his death last week, writing, "Tony left us today, but
01:05 he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was 'Because of You,'
01:10 his first number one hit."
01:12 While a cause of death was not given, Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in
01:16 2016, a diagnosis that was shared with the public five years later in 2021.
