86 year-old Bennett joined Gaga on stage at the White House Staff Ball earlier this week, celebrating the inauguration of President Barack Obama, of whom Lady Gaga is a keen supporter.
The pair performed a cover of 'The Lady Is A Tramp' together live at the event, after Gaga also performed versions of her massive hits ‘Born This Way’ and ‘You and I’.
