Billy Ray Cyrus<\/a> performed at the funeral of a man shot and killed at the Donald Trump rally.<\/p>\n

Billy Ray Cyrus performed at the funeral of Corey Comperatore after he was shot at the Donald Trump rally<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old US presidential candidate was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday and was left with an injured ear but at the remembrance service of 50-year-old Corey Comperatore – who is said to have “died trying to protect his family\u201d – ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ singer Billy, 62, sang the standard ‘Amazing Grace’ on Friday (19.07.24)<\/p>\n

A source told People: “Corey Comperatore is a Army reservist veteran and former firefighter chief. [Cyrus] BRC has always been passionate about honouring troops and first responders.<\/p>\n

“Today he was honored to join the family and perform during the service.”<\/p>\n

The former ‘Hannah Montana’ star also gave a rendition of ‘Some Gave All’, which serves as the final track on his 1992 debut album of the same name. <\/p>\n

\nAt the onset of the service, a procession of around 500 fire trucks arrived to drive from the church to the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company near Comperatore\u2019s hometown of Sarver, where he worked for several decades.<\/p>\n

\nThe news comes after Trump himself paid tribute to the Army veteran, hailing him as an “unbelievable person” after the tragedy had taken place. <\/p>\n

\nHe said: “Tragically the shooter claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans, Corey Comperatore, unbelievable person, everybody tells me. He was incredible, he was a highly respected former fire chief. He lost his life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets. He went right over the top of them and was hit. What a fine man he was<\/p>\n

\nImmediately after the incident, Crooks was shot dead by police on the scene and Comperatore – who is survived by his wife and two daughters – was remembered by his family as a “beloved father and husband, and a friend to so many throughout the Butler region.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
