For Bennett fans unable to get tickets to his birthday bash, other dates are scheduled for the 90-year throughout the year, including stops in San Jose, California, Wabash, Indiana, and Nashville, Tennessee. Additionally, NBC will broadcast the birthday bash on December 20 with a two-hour holiday special airing at 9 p.m.
Over the eight decades of his career, Tony Bennett has released a whopping 57 studio albums and dozens of live or compilation records. In 2014 he became the oldest artist to top the Billboard 200 with Cheek to Cheek, a duets album with Lady Gaga.
