Tony Bennett remembered by stars, fans and the organizations he helped

Singer Tony Bennett died in New York City on Friday at the age of 96. As the news of his death spread around the world, fans remembered the crooner, who won 19 Grammys and recorded 60 studio albums during his seven-decade career – and also helped bring the arts to others. 

Fellow music superstar Elton John shared an image of himself and Bennett on Instagram, writing: "So sad to hear of Tony's passing. Without doubt the classiest singer, man, and performer you will ever see. He's irreplaceable. I loved and adored him. Condolences to Susan, Danny and the family."

Bennett is survived by his third wife, Susan, and four children: Danny, who served as his manager; Dae, a music producer and engineer; Johanna; and Antonia, a singer. He also had nine grandchildren.
