EXCLUSIVE: Tony Bennett, 94, is pictured with wife Susan Crow, 54, in Central Park a month after revealing his years-long battle with Alzheimer’s disease
- Bennett’s outing on Tuesday comes nearly two months after the star announced that he has been battling Alzheimer’s disease since 2016
- Tony began showing real signs of decline two years later, in 2018, when he began to record the follow up to his 2014 Cheek to Cheek album with Lady Gaga
- ‘There’s a lot about him that I miss. Because he’s not the old Tony anymore … But when he sings, he’s the old Tony,’ said Bennett’s wife Susan in an interview with AARP in February
- Tony first aired concerns over his health in 2015 when he admitted he was struggling to remember the names of his fellow musicians
