Although Bennett has kept this a secret for quite some time, he continues to keep up with his music career. It has been confirmed by AARP that the 94-year-old has recorded a new album with Lady Gaga which is being prepared for release this spring.

“Singing is everything to him. Everything. It has saved his life many times,” Susan Benedetto (Tony Bennett’s wife) told AARP.
