Peabo Bryson, the R&B singer best known for his Disney film duets 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'A Whole New World', has died aged 75. In a statement, his family said he died on Tuesday evening, days after suffering a stroke.
“While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing how deeply Peabo was loved and how many lives were touched by his voice and his generous spirit,” the family's statement said. “His legacy and music will live on for generations to come."
A two-time Grammy Award winner, Bryson was celebrated for his partnership with Celine Dion on the Oscar-winning film Beauty and the Beast. He repeated that global success with Regina Belle on 'A Whole New World' from Disney's Aladdin.
