Stars and fans swarmed the Staples Center for the public memorial service of Kobe and Gianna Bryant on Monday. This celebration of life was opened by a performance from Beyonce.
Beyoncé decided to eulogize Kobe and Gianna by singing "XO," from her 2013 BEYONCÉ album.
"I'm here because I love Kobe, and this was one of his favorite songs," Beyoncé told the audience.
