94-year-old singer Tony Bennett has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease dementia. While the diagnosis was made back in 2016, he has now made it public in an article in AARP magazine, an American magazine focusing on issues around ageing.
Mr Bennett has won 19 Grammy awards during his career, which stretches back to the late 1940s. He is still making music, albeit with more difficulty, and has just finished making a second album with singer Lady Gaga, due for release this spring. He has also collaborated with other popular artists in recent years, including Amy Winehouse, Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé. His wife Susan Benedetto, 54, is his primary caregiver.
