Lady Gaga news announced that the "Cheek to Cheek" singer will perform with Tony Bennett at New York City's iconic Rockefeller tree lighting event, said a report from USA Today.

The duo is set to appear alongside other musicians such as Cyndi Lauper, Seth MacFarlane featuring Sara Bareilles, Idina Menzel, Pentatonix, LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood.

The event will be covered by hosts from the Today show such as Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Natalie Morales.

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett's performance will be part of the TV special to be aired on NBC at December 3.

Earlier Lady Gaga news has reported that the singer claims jazz icon Tony Bennett "saved her life," and the pop diva revealed how she almost quit her music career prior to their "Cheek To Cheek" jazz collaboration.

A feature in Parade reported how the "Born This Way" singer got distraught following mixed reviews from her Artpop Album. ''I didn't even want to sing any more. I was so sad. I couldn't sleep. I felt dead," Lady Gaga said in the news feature.

The controversial musician also revealed: ''I'm not going to say any names, but people get irrational when it comes to money. If you help an artist, it doesn't give you the right, once the artist is big, to take advantage of them.''

The 28-year-old singer then told Parade how she went on to collaborate with 88-year-old jazz legend Tony Bennett. The two are busy with their upcoming jazz album entitled "Cheek To Cheek".

Lady Gaga confessed: ''I tell Tony every day that he saved my life. He wanted nothing but my friendship and my voice.''

Lady Gaga news reported that the hitmaker has slammed the music industry for allegedly "controlling" her. In a report from Entertainment Wise, the singer even called her pop days "robotic", and explained why she has shifted to jazz music.

''Since 'The Fame', 'The Fame Monster' and 'Born This Way', they've been auto-tuning it more, or changing the timbre. They take the vibrato out so you sound like a robot," Lady Gaga said in the news reported by Entertainment Wise.

The controversial musician admitted: ''They really control you especially in the beginning."
