His twice weekly singing practices are thought to have kept his brain stimulated and spared him from symptoms such as disorientation, depression and a detachment from reality. His neurologist told AARP that, prior to the pandemic, Bennett’s touring schedule “kept him on his toes and also stimulated his brain in a significant way”. Bennett had only started showing symptoms of decline in the two years leading up to the article and had continued to record tracks from 2018 to early 2020 for an album with Lady Gaga, despite at times being “lost and bewildered” during recording sessions. The album is expected to be released in early 2021.
