Lady Gaga Calls Tony Bennett Her “Real True Friend”
“He also showed me how to keep my spirits high and my head screwed on straight. ‘Straight ahead,’ he’d say,'” her post on Sunday continued. “He was an optimist, he believed in quality work AND quality life. Plus, there was the gratitude…Tony was always grateful. He served in WWII, marched with Martin Luther King Jr., and sang jazz with the greatest singers and players in the world.”
The singer added that they had a “very long and powerful goodbye,” and although there was a large age gap between them, he was her “real true friend.” “Our age difference didn’t matter – in fact, it gave us each something neither of us had with most people. We were from two different stages in life entirely – inspired,” Gaga said. “Losing Tony to Alzheimer’s has been painful but it was also really beautiful. An era of memory loss is such a sacred time in a persons life. There’s such a feeling of vulnerability and a desire to preserve dignity.
