Bono, 42, has been competing with professional partner Lacey Schwimmer in the dancing competition, and they performed a routine to the theme music from boxing movie Rocky on last night's show.
The performance was particularly important to the transgender star as his family, including his 65-year-old mum and stepmother Mary Bono Mack, were in the audience.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said she was moved to tears during the performance.
And Cher was also moved as she gave her son a standing ovation.
She texted me right before Monday's show and said, 'I wanted people to be able to feel your presence and not take away from that and I think you've made your presence known now,' " 42-year-old Chaz told People. "So I texted her back and I said, 'Okay, so if I make it through this week that means you'll come to Monday's show?' And she said, 'Yes.' "
Chaz, who had the lowest score last week with partner Lacey Schwimmer, was saved by the fan vote.
Mother Cher, who has been an active supporter, tweeted her hopes he will make it through to compete in week four.
"God hope Chaz hangs on till next week so I can come sit in the Audience & Watch," Cher tweeted. The next night, she thanked fans for their votes, which secured a spot for Chaz this week.
