Tony Bennett to become ‘full time painter’ if voice starts fading

Washington: Veteran singer Tony Bennett has revealed that he will become a full-time painter if his voice starts fading with age.

The 85-year-old singer, who balances his hobby of painting with his performing career, apparently doesn’t want his fans to hear his “wavering” voice when he gets older. “I would have to do both, because they are both very passionate for me,” The Daily Star quoted him as telling CNN’s Piers Morgan. But if my voice, because of my age, starts wavering, I don’t want anyone to hear that, so then I would retire to painting for the rest of my life,” he added. ANI
