Peabo Bryson Reportedly Suffers Stroke, Multiple Outlets Say

Peabo Bryson, the Grammy-winning R&B singer whose warm tenor helped define generations of quiet-storm romance and soundtrack soul, is reportedly under medical care after suffering a stroke, according to multiple reports that surfaced over the weekend and into Monday.

Variety first reported the news, and subsequent coverage from TV Insider, Greenville Online, FOX Carolina, WHIO TV and Billboard echoed the same development, with some reports noting that a representative said Bryson is receiving medical attention. He is 75.

Bryson is one of those voices that never really left the room. From “Tonight, I Celebrate My Love” to his beloved Disney-era work tied to “Beauty and the Beast,” he helped make adult R&B feel elegant, tender and unmistakably cinematic.

At this time, no further details on his condition were immediately available. RnB Planet will update this story if and when additional verified information is released.
