Tony Bennett (USA, b. Anthony Benedetto, 3 August 1926) was aged 95 years 58 days when Love for Sale, his second collaborative album with vocalist Lady Gaga, was released on 30 September 2021. Billed as Bennett’s 61st and final studio album, Love for Sale pays tribute to the American composer Cole Porter (1891-1964) and features cover versions of jazz standards including “It’s De-Lovely”, “Night and Day” and “I Get a Kick out of You”.


Promotion for Love for Sale included two shows at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on 3 and 5 August 2021 which were Bennett’s last public performances. The singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016 and retired from performing live on the advice of doctors.
