Lady Gaga Pays Tribute to Tony Bennett on What Would Have Been His 97th Birthday: ‘A Day for Smiling’

“August 3rd is Tony Bennett Day,” the pop singer wrote on Instagram

Lady Gaga hasn’t stopped thinking about Tony Bennett since he died at 96 last month.

On Thursday, the “Bad Romance” singer took the time to pay tribute to the late jazz legend for what would have been his 97th birthday.

“Happy Birthday Tony. August 3rd is Tony Bennett Day. A day for smiling. But I’ll be celebrating you a lot more than once a year,” Gaga, 37, wrote on Instagram. “I’ll celebrate you every time I’m on stage singing jazz music, every time I’m with your family, every time I walk down the streets of New York I’ll look around and remember all you did for this city and the whole world. 😘”

Alongside the caption, the singer posted three photos where she’s seen sporting a black dress, black beret, sunglasses and a black purse while perched in front of a food cart.
