Peabo Bryson's cause of death
The family did not unveil the exact cause of death publicly; however, Bryson suffered a stroke over the weekend and was under medical care.
Bryson released a number of hits from the 1970s to the 2010s, including I'm So Into You, Feel the Fire, If Ever You're In My Arms Again, and Reaching for the Sky.
The R&B singer bagged two Grammy Awards in his life for two duet performances: Beauty and the Beast with Celine Dion (1992) and A Whole New World with Regina Belle (1993).
Fans flooded the social media platforms, expressing their grief over the loss of the veteran singer.
"This man had one of the best voices to grace your ears. His music was often played in my house growing up. Sad to hear of his passing," penned a fan.
Another fan said, "RIP. The pop ballad versions of those songs he did with the cheesy typical DX7 electric piano or Roland JD-800 Crystal Rhodes sound were my childhood."
Bryson recently performed in a concert with Jeffrey Osborne in Georgia, US, last month and was set to perform several shows for his Golden Touch tour later this year, celebrating his five decades in the music industry.
