On what date did Frank Sinatra give his final public performance?

The story behind the answer

Frank Sinatra gave his final public performance on February 25, 1995.

The performance took place at the Palm Desert Marriott Ballroom in California during the closing night of the Frank Sinatra Desert Classic golf tournament. It was a private event attended by about 1,200 invited guests, rather than one of Sinatra's large arena concerts.

Sinatra performed a six-song set, including “I've Got the World on a String,” “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Kind of Town,” and “The Best Is Yet to Come.” The event followed his final public concerts at Japan's Fukuoka Dome on December 19 and 20, 1994.

The date can cause confusion because the Fukuoka shows were his last full-scale concerts, while February 25, 1995, was his last time singing before a live audience. He never performed publicly again.
