WASHINGTON (TND) — Singer Tony Bennett has passed away
just two weeks short of his birthday.

Bennett died in his hometown of New York, his publicist Sylvia
Weiner confirmed to The Associated Press.

No specific cause was given but the singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016.

His family revealed the news to AARP magazine in 2021 with
Bennett saying, "Life is a gift — even with Alzheimer’s."

On July 21, 1861, in the first major land battle of the Civil War,
a large Union force under General Irvin McDowell is routed by
a Confederate army under General Pierre G.T. Beauregard.
