Lady Gaga to light up Empire State Building in Tony Bennett tribute

Lady Gaga will be on hand to turn on the switch when the Empire State Building lights up in honour of Tony Bennett this week.

A special event is being held at the New York landmark on Wednesday (August 3) to commemorate the singer's 90th birthday.

A light show designed by Marc Brickman will take place on the Empire State Building, with Gaga officially turning on the switch.

It will be synced to five songs from Bennett's back catalogue.

Gaga and Bennett released the jazz covers album 'Cheek To Cheek' in 2014.

He tweeted today (August 2) about the event: "I can't believe @ladygaga will be lighting the @EmpireStateBldg for my bday!

"Watch live here on Twitter tomorrow at 830p ET. #Tony90."
