Page "Sonny & Cher" Paragraph 32

The funeral, unbeknownst to Cher, was broadcast live on CNN.

She gave a tearful eulogy, after which the attendees sang the song " The Beat Goes On ".

In front of millions, Cher tearfully and effusively praised Bono, calling him " the most unforgettable character I've ever met ".

His final resting place is Desert Memorial Park in nearby Cathedral City, California, the same cemetery in which Frank Sinatra was laid to rest later that same year.

The epitaph on Bono's headstone reads: " And The Beat Goes On ".
