Lady Gaga appears to honor Tony Bennett during her Grammys performance by placing a hand on her shoulder

  • Lady Gaga performed at the 2022 Grammys without her duet partner Tony Bennett.
  • The 95-year-old crooner was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and did not attend the ceremony.

Lady Gaga paid tribute to her friend Tony Bennett on Sunday when she performed at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

The duo were nominated for album of the year for their second collaborative album, "Love for Sale," a jazzy collection of Cole Porter covers.

Gaga took the stage to perform the album's title track and "Do I Love You" in honor of Bennett, who was not in attendance. A pretaped video of Bennett introduced Gaga, and clips from their past performances were shown behind her onstage.

At one point, Gaga put her hand on her shoulder in a tangibly emotional moment. Fans online were quick to note a parallel between Gaga's gesture and photos of the duo released to promote their album, with Bennett's hand resting on the pop star's shoulder.

A similar moment occurs in the "Love for Sale" trailer when Bennett subtly embraces Gaga in the recording studio.

The 95-year-old crooner announced his retirement from performing last year, shortly after revealing his Alzheimer's diagnosis.
