Tony Bennett says he and Lady Gaga are hoping to be active on the live circuit together for "a while".

The duo will release their jazz duets album 'Cheek to Cheek' on September 23.

Speaking to Billboard, veteran crooner Bennett said that the pair plan on performing a series of shows in the future in venues smaller than arenas.

He said: "We'll be touring together for quite a while. She's kind of exhausted from playing for 45,000 people a night. She said, 'Let's just play for three to six weeks in Las Vegas'.

"She has the idea of just performing at Radio City for possibly two weeks with her. It's amazing how she's planning out how we should perform together, and it won't be those 45,000-seat places because I work in acoustical halls all the time, or outdoor theatres sometimes.

"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."

The TV special Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek To Cheek Live! meanwhile will air in the US on October 24.
