AARP The Magazine revealed that Tony Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease back in 2016 but it has not been revealed to the public until now because he wanted to continue to tour. He has performed publicly as recently as 2019 and even has concert dates scheduled for later this year, with the first one starting in March. I can see how he would want to continue performing as music does stimulate the brain. There have been studies of Alzheimer’s patients showing that when music is played their brains really perk up.
