The insider also shared that Liza is hoping to return to the stage to perform for her fans again, one last time. Apparently, she's determined to make the performance happen, even if it's from a wheelchair.

Liza's most recent appearance was at the 2022 Oscars, where she joined Lady Gaga onstage to present the Oscar for Best Picture. "Oh, I'm so excited. I haven't been up here in so long," she spoke to the crowd before singing a song. "I love you. Thank you for all the years of joy that you brought me."
