Mark Seliger\/Julien’s Auctions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A collection of items from the late Tony Bennett<\/strong> will go up for sale<\/strong><\/a> via Julien’s Auctions on April 18. Among the items up for grabs at the auction, called A Life Well Lived, are letters, messages and autographs from stars like Lady Gaga<\/strong>, Amy Winehouse <\/strong>and\u00a0Madonna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to Rolling Stone,<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Lady Gaga’s autograph is on the sheet music for her duet with Tony, “The Lady Is a Tramp.” She wrote, “Dear Tony, I’ll always be your tramp.” Amy Winehouse’s autograph is on the sheet music for their duet, “Body and Soul.” She wrote, “Happy 85th \/You handsome legend you. Your biggest fan … Amy XX.” Both autographs are estimated to sell for between $1,000 and $1,500.<\/p>\n

Madonna’s letter is part of a leather-bound scrapbook of letters to Bennett wishing him a happy 75th birthday — the whole book is estimated to go for up to\u00a0$12,000. Madonna wrote, “You are truly one of the greatest!” The scrapbook also includes letters from Martin Scorsese<\/strong>, Robert De Niro<\/strong>, Muhammad Ali <\/strong>and Matt Groening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The collection, which also includes paintings, clothing, gold record awards and more, will be on display at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco from April 8-10 and then at New York’s Jazz at Lincoln Center building from April 10-16. The auction starts the day after Josh Groban<\/strong> hosts<\/strong><\/a> an all-star tribute to Bennett at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s annual gala fundraiser.<\/p>\n

Bennett’s manager, his son Danny<\/strong>, tells Rolling Stone<\/em> that later this year Paramount+ will premiere The Lady and The Legend,<\/em> a documentary about the friendship between Gaga and Tony.<\/p>\n

Bennett died July 21, 2023, at age 96.<\/p>\n
