‘Life is a gift’: On February 1, Bennett announced to his 706K social media followers that he’d been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease back in 2016
On February 1, the Queens-born New Yorker announced to his 706K social media followers that he’d been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease back in 2016.
‘There’s a lot about him that I miss because he’s not the old Tony anymore,’ Susan admitted to AARP at the time.
‘It’s no fun arguing with someone who doesn’t understand you. But I feel badly talking about it because we are so much more fortunate than so many people with this diagnosis,’ she said.
She went on to describe how Bennett was still in good spirits despite experiencing the effects of the disease and how he was still trying to maintain his normal lifestyle.
‘He would ask me, “What is Alzheimer’s?” I would explain, but he wouldn’t get it. He’d tell me, “Susan, I feel fine.” That’s all he could process…So, nothing changed in his life,’ Crow noted.
‘But when he sings, he’s the old Tony…Singing is everything to him. Everything. It has saved his life many times.’
Any day now! The Queens-born New Yorker will soon release his second studio album with his Cheek to Cheek duet partner Lady Gaga (R, pictured in 2015), which was recorded between 2018-early 2020
