Further celebrity guests for "Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet to Come" are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Announcing the news at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the eve of Bennett's actual birthday, NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said, "Since we celebrated Tony's 80th birthday on NBC, it only seemed fitting that we should also stop and pay tribute to his 90th, a true milestone for the greatest living vocalist of popular music.
"Happy birthday, Tony, your achievements are epic and your voice has been the soundtrack of four generations. We and the entire music business are in awe."

Bennett cannot wait to mark the occasion with his famous friends and fans.

"I turn 90 tomorrow and feel like I'm just getting started and look forward to each day. I have loved performing for the public and sharing the music I love with the world," Bennett said.
"It's a thrill to have NBC air a special in honour of my birthday and to have so many wonderful artists that I have worked with and admire participate.
