Tony Bennett’s son and widow shared the singer’s final words to each of them during their first interview since the legendary musician passed away.<\/p>\n

Bennett died July 21<\/u><\/a> at the age of 96, according to a post shared on the singer’s Instagram page. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2016, but no official cause of death has been given.<\/p>\n

“His last words to me (were), ‘Thank you,'” Danny Bennett said during an appearance on the “Today” show. “Can\u2019t say it better than that.”<\/p>\n

“That he loved me … he would wake up every day and still say that,” his widow Susan Benedetto recalled. “He woke up happy every day.”<\/p>\n

The musician also kept singing until the very end, and Benedetto revealed his final song was his very first hit, “Because of You.” “The\u00a0music never left him,” she said.<\/p>\n

After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Bennett’s wife and son thought the singer would want to take a step back from the microphone but admitted he had other plans. “\u2026Tony\u2019s like, \u2018I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about. You know, I wanna keep singing,\u2019” Benedetto recalled.<\/p>\n

Danny added, “We\u2019d take him to the doctor and he\u2019d go, ‘What am I– why am I here?’<\/p>\n

“We would leave,” Benedetto recalled. “And Tony\u2019s like, ‘Susan. I\u2019m really okay. We don\u2019t have to come back.'”<\/p>\n

During his nearly 70-year long career, Bennett sold over 50 million records worldwide. At the time of his death, Celebrity Net Worth estimated his fortune to be approximately $200 million.<\/p>\n

Danny, who also served as his father’s manager, recalled how he introduced Bennett’s music to a younger generation.<\/p>\n

“He came into my office one time. And he said, ‘I was watching MTV.’ He goes, ‘I think I can do that.’ And then walked out,” Danny recalled. “And I was like, all right.”<\/p>\n

“I put him on these shows that were, you know, 60,000 kids at RFK Stadium, between Nine Inch Nails and PJ Harvey,” he added. “And, you know, it was a little nerve-wracking.”<\/p>\n

Some of the musician’s most popular releases include “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,”<\/u><\/a> “Love for Sale,” “Cheek to Cheek” and “Duets II.”<\/p>\n

His final album, “Love for Sale,” was recorded with his longtime friend and collaborator, Lady Gaga,<\/u><\/a> and released in 2021. The album was actually the pair’s second. Gaga recorded “Cheek to Cheek” with Bennett in 2014.<\/p>\n

“Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was, \u2018Because of You,\u2019 his first #1 hit,” Bennett’s family shared on Instagram at the time of his death. “Tony, because of you we have your songs in our heart forever.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
