BREAKING: Legendary pop and jazz singer Tony Bennett has died at the age of 96
Bennett, known for his performances with singers from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga, sold millions of records around the world and won 20 Grammys, including a lifetime achievement award, throughout his career.
One of the last of America's great crooners, Bennett released his first album in 1952 when he was in his mid-20s and went on to chart in the US in every subsequent decade of his life. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016 and went public five years later. His positivity was clear from a reworking of one of his famous quotes shared on his social media accounts:"Life is a gift - even with Alzheimer's."
