Surprise Reunions
Despite the fact that Sonny had gone on to acting and eventually politics, Cher had gone on to become a Grammy award-winning solo singer, as well as an Academy award-winning actress. So with this in mind, it was surprising that the pair made two surprise reunion performances on The Mike Douglas Show and on Late Night with David Letterman. The Letterman appearance proved to be the last time that the duo would ever perform together.

Bono’s Death
Bono died in 1998 as a result of injuries suffering during a skiing accident. The funeral was broadcast live (without Cher’s prior knowledge), where she gave an emotional eulogy. Subsequently, the attending mourners sang “The Beat Goes On” in memorial. Cher praised Bono and called him “the most unforgettable character I’ve ever met”. The pair received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1998.
