Her MTV Unplugged performance, which airs Friday night, was performed on a bittersweet note, as duo partner Tony Bennett was revealed to have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016 in a February AARP profile.
Neurodegenerative disease is responsible for the majority of cases of dementia and involves increasing memory loss, as well as decreased bodily functions.
Although those affected can live with the disease for years, it is still fatal.
However, the music and the performances seem to help the legendary singer avoid the worst symptoms.
“It kept him on his toes and also boosted his brain significantly,” Bennett’s neurologist Gayatri Devi told AARP.
“He’s doing so much, at 94, that a lot of people without dementia can’t do. He truly is the symbol of hope for someone with a dementia.
