His wife, Susan Benedetto, was the main caregiver for him during his last years on earth after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. She revealed how her husband questioned her diagnosis. She recounted a conversation they once had: « He asked me: “What is Alzheimer’s disease? I explained to him, but he didn’t understand. He was like, ‘Susan, I feel good. That’s all he could understand, he felt physically fine. »
Even after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, he remained strong thanks to his good physical health. The singer even recorded an album with singer Lady Gaga and kept a positive attitude throughout the recording, even though he made some minor mistakes like forgetting some words.
It is in his beautiful apartment that he has spent most of his time in recent years. The singer’s abode was located on the 15th floor of a high-rise building overlooking Central Park. The living space included three bedrooms, a large kitchen where Bennett cooked, as well as a playhouse, office, bathrooms, and more.

The walls are covered with giant windows that allow natural light to come in and illuminate everything. The windows also allowed the late singer-songwriter to still have a view of the park and the New York skyline without leaving his abode.
The singer has also transformed one of the bedrooms into a studio. The studio has become a sanctuary for the Grammy-winning singer. His sketches hung on the walls, while art supplies such as brushes, paint tubes and more were strewn about the studio.
In 2015, the singer told The New York Times that he was also passionate about painting. It featured a large easel placed next to a window with sweeping views of Central Park. He said: “Instead of buildings, you have nature here. There is nothing more powerful than that. »
