The two first worked together on Bennett's 2011 album, Duets II, performing The Lady Is A Tramp and debuting at number one on the Jazz Billboard charts.
With Gaga stepping away from the pop world, what will this do for her outfits and moreover, her pop music career? Bennett recently told Billboard that the two plan on doing a lengthy tour together, with a confirmed follow up project to Cheek to Cheek. The duet tour would be more focused for jazz, with Bennett explaining, "She's kind of exhausted from playing for 45,000 people a night," adding, "I'm not interested in playing to 45,000 people a night, so she's finding places where we could work for three or four days, or three or four weeks, in one place at a time. That's how she wants to work with me."
