Show that if $T_1$, $T_2$ are normal operators that commutes then $T_1+T_2$ and $T_1T_2$ are normal.

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional inner-product space, and suppose that $T_1$, $T_2$ are normal operators on $V$ that commutes. How to show that $T_1+T_2$ and $T_1T_2$ are then normal? It is clear if ...
