Lady Gaga didn't want to sing anymore at one point in her life and was going to quit music. But she said Tony Bennett, who died on Friday at age 96, 'saved' her life.
"Six months ago I didn't even want to sing anymore," Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta,during an interview with Bennett as they promoted their album"Cheek to Cheek."
"Right! The other day, Tony said, 'I've never once in my career not wanted to do this.' It stung. Six months ago I didn't feel that way. I tell Tony every day that he saved my life," Gaga replied. "I'm not going to say any names, but people get irrational when it comes to money—with how they treat you, with what they expect from you," she told Parade."But if you help an artist, it doesn't give you the right, once the artist is big, to take advantage of them."
Lady Gaga performs with Tony Bennett during her residency at Park Theater at Park MGM on January 20, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.While many call the pop superstar"Gaga," Bennett referred to her as"Lady." After"Cheek to Cheek," the pair recorded a second album,"Love for Sale," released in 2021.
