We are very sorry to share the news of the passing of a legend. For 70 years, the great Tony Bennett has treated audiences across the globe with his voice. He had released 70 albums throughout his career, and won 19 Grammys.
Bennett’s longtime publicist Sylvia Weiner confirmed the news. He died in his hometown of New York, at the age of 96. There was no specific cause, but Bennett had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
