Peabo Bryson, the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer who brought the world two of Disney's most beloved title songs, died on June 2, 2026, at age 75 after suffering a stroke three days earlier. His 1991 duet with Celine Dion on 'Beauty and the Beast' and his 1992 recording of 'A Whole New World' with Regina Belle both won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, making him the only recording artist to win back-to-back Oscars in that category. He is survived by his wife Tanya Bonaface Bryson, his children Robert and Linda, and three grandchildren.
