Tony Bennet Hangs Up His Hat and Will Perform No More

Tony Bennett: the last of the great crooners Legendary singer Tony Bennett has earned 20 Grammys over his career, in addition to numerous other awards, honors, and accolades. He’s become the last of America’s great crooners, but even though he has been going strong into his 90s despite a public battle with Alzheimer’s, the much-loved entertainer will perform no more. Speaking to Variety, Bennett’s son/manager Danny said, “It’s not the singing aspect but, rather, the traveling. Look, he gets tired. The decision is being made that doing concerts now is just too much for him. We don’t want him to fall on stage, for instance—something as simple as that. We’re not worried about him being able to sing. We are worried, from a physical standpoint … about human nature.“ And indeed, it seems no one has ever been worried about Bennett’s ability to sing, as he’s never disappointed throughout his long career. #tonybennet #jazz #franksinatra #ladygaga #bolivar
