Tony Bennett has been secretly battling Alzheimer’s for four years
Tony Bennett has been quietly hiding his Alzheimer’s disease for four years.
The 94-year-old Queens,New York-born crooner was diagnosed in 2016 and has been continuing to work through his symptoms, AARP Magazine reported Monday.
Bennett’s wife, Susan, said his family decided to come forward with his diagnosis without his input because he is no longer able to make such decisions.
“He would ask me, ‘What is Alzheimer’s?’” she told AARP.
“I would explain, but he wouldn’t get it. He’d tell me, ‘Susan, I feel fine.’ That’s all he could process – that physically he felt great. So, nothing changed in his life. Anything that did change, he wasn’t aware of.”
