A gig that marked the duo’s final televised singing appearance together, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga performed on MTV Unplugged.
Filmed earlier this year in an intimate NYC nightclub, following its premiere, MTV shared several standalone duets from the special including “Night and Day,” one of 10 Cole Porter standards they recorded for their 2021 LP Love for Sale, and the classic “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” from the album’s deluxe edition.
The special marked Gaga’s first Unplugged performance, while Bennett appeared on the special for the first time since his acclaimed 1994 MTV Unplugged.
Earlier this year, Gaga and Bennett reunited onstage for a pair of final Radio City Music Hall shows celebrating the elder crooner’s 95th birthday as the family later announced that Bennett would cancel his remaining 2021 concerts due to his ongoing battle with Alzheimer’s. Tony Bennett officially retired from touring soon after.
