Bryson’s family said Tuesday that Bryson had “peacefully relocated,” adding that he was “surrounded by the love of his family and those closest to him.”
“We are so touched by the outpouring of love, prayers and support from fans, friends and colleagues around the world,” the family said in a statement. “Our hearts are broken, but we take solace in knowing how deeply loved Peabo was and how many lives were touched by his voice and generous spirit. His legacy and music will live on for generations to come.”
Bryson’s family did not disclose his cause of death.
However, the musician’s representative announced that Bryson suffered a stroke on Thursday. After the stroke, he continued to receive treatment until his death.
Throughout his career, Bryson has entertained audiences with songs such as “Feel the Fire,” “I’m So Into You,” “Can You Stop the Rain,” “If Ever You in My Arms Again,” and “Reaching for the Sky.”
He won his first Grammy Award in 1993 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group on Vocals alongside Celine Dion for “Beauty and the Beast.” The following year, he and Regina Belle won the same award for “A Whole New World.”
The family asked for privacy “as we mourn the loss of a beloved husband, father, family, friend, and artist whose impact transcended the stage.”
