Bruno Tonioli, a judge on Dancing With the Stars, was overcome with emotion during a touching tribute to his late friend and fellow judge Len Goodman. The professional dancers performed a heartfelt ballroom routine in memory of Len, who sadly died in April at the age of 78 after a battle with prostate cancer. After the moving Waltz tribute, Bruno couldn't hold back his tears and had to rush off stage.
Viewers were also moved by the heartfelt tribute and took to social media to share their thoughts. One fan gushed: "The Len tribute dance was literally perfect. Every detail down to the lighting was just beautiful.
Crying on my couch!" Another chimed in: "Anyone else just crying with full body chills after that dance for Len Goodman?! Beautiful tribute." A third added: "Wonderful tribute to Len Goodman. He clearly connected so deeply with his peers and how phenomenal for him to have he practiced and continued to experience his passion in his later years." The theme of the week was Most Memorable Year, and the group performed a special dance to honour Len's personal ballroom dancing roots.
They danced to Henry Mancini's classic Moon River, a song famous for its feature in the iconic 1971 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Len only missed two seasons - 21 and 29 - during his time on Dancing With The Stars.
He announced his retirement from the show months before his death. Many of the show's stars paid beautiful tributes to him after the sad news of his passing. Before the show, Derek Hough shared another throwback message in which Len gave him funny advice.
