Last night was the Dancing with the Stars finale. Just before the winner was announced and the Mirror Ball Trophy was handed over, Cher had a very special performance on the show. It was a pre-recorded number of Cher performing “The Beat Goes On” with a very special guest!
The 73-year-old paid tribute to her late husband Sonny Bono. The two were once singing partners. She sang the song from 1967 while wearing a vintage outfit including purple-striped bell bottoms. Go-go dancers were on the stage, and the performance would cut to Sonny singing his parts of the song. A video of their past performance was on the screen above Cher dancing.
