Lady Gaga returned to Las Vegas Thursday night to resume her “Lady Gaga: Jazz & Piano” residency, where she honoured her late friend, Tony Bennett.
The show, which includes classic jazz songs and stripped-down renditions of Gaga’s hits, marked the superstar’s first concert since Bennett, her frequent collaborator and mentor, died in late July. With that being said, Gaga paid a special tribute to the jazz icon.
In footage captured by attendees, the Grammy-winner, 37, gave a shoutout to Bennett’s wife, Susan Benedetto, who was reportedly in the audience, before dedicating a song to her.
“Susan, everybody in this audience loves you so much,” Gaga began. “The truth is I didn’t know exactly what to say about Tony because this whole show was for Tony, everything. The opening number, the middle numbers, all the diamonds, all the musical instruments, all the conducting, all the improvisation was in his memory.”

The “Hold My Hand” singer then expressed how she believes Bennett would want her to go on with the show.
“But if I know Tony well, I know he would be real mad at me for being sad, so I couldn’t come out here and be sad. I sung this song while Tony was still alive, and I’m going to sing it now even though he’s gone, because he’ll never be gone,” she told the crowd.
Gaga then called out Benedetto again, saying, “Susan, this is for you, and I’m going to get through it, I promise. And I’ll never do it as well as Tony, but I’ll try,” before belting out a classy slowed-down version of “Fly Me to the Moon”, to which she mentioned Susan’s name in the middle of the song.
