Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett are formally throwing their support behind presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by signing up to perform at a political fundraiser.


The duo, who have been performing live together for over a year, will host a concert for the Democrat on 24 June (15) in New York City.


Tickets for the bash will start at $1,000 and any donor who raises $27,000 will be named co-host of the event, while $50,000 will get a donor a hosting credit, a private reception with Clinton and an afterparty with the singers.


The news comes days after Bennett had to pull out of a London show for their Cheek to Cheek tour on Tuesday (09Jun15) after he was struck down with a bad bout of influenza.
