The musician and actress appeared on Sunday’s episode of '60 Minutes' to talk about performing with TonyBennett, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016.
In her sit-down with Cooper, Lady Gaga said that during the rehearsals leading up to the shows, Bennett did not call her by her name. She explained, “For the first couple of weeks that I saw Tony since COVID, he called me ‘sweetheart,’ but I wasn’t sure he knew who I was.”
But on the day of the performance, Bennett surprised Lady Gaga in a sentimental moment. 60 Minutes showed a clip of Bennett introducing Lady Gaga by her name when she appeared onstage. “That’s the first time that Tony said my name in a long time,” she recalled. “I had to keep it together because we had a sold-out show and I have a job to do. But I’ll tell you when I walked out on that stage and he said, ‘It’s Lady Gaga,’ my friend saw me. It was very special.
Bennett’s wife, Susan, was also interviewed for the segment and confirmed that her husband still recognizes her and his children. “We are blessed in a lot of ways. He’s very sweet,” she said. She also told Cooper that Bennett is not aware of his diagnosis but Bennett still knows the words to his songs. As Cooper explained, he can sing a tune without any cue cards or sheet music.
