Lady Gaga has honored her late friend and collaborator, Tony Bennett, on the first anniversary of his death. The pop star, 38, and the legendary jazz singer first met in 2011 and released their duets album, *Cheek to Cheek*, in 2014. Their bond was so strong that Bennett's final performances were with Gaga at Radio City Music Hall in August 2021, celebrating his 95th birthday. Bennett passed away on June 21 last year at 96 after battling Alzheimer's. On Instagram, Gaga shared a black-and-white photo of herself with Bennett, writing, "It's been one year since Tony passed away. This picture says it all." In the image, Gaga, in a ballgown, has her hand on her heart while Bennett, in a tuxedo, sketches her portrait. Gaga expressed gratitude for her friendship with Bennett's wife Susan, his jazz legacy, and the community of musicians who loved him, concluding with, "Miss you. Life is a beautiful thing."
