According to Dion, Bryson made her so comfortable, as he was just learning to sing in English.

“He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life,” said the I'm Alive singer, adding that his voice and his talent will be missed.

In the end, Celine Dion, whose collaboration with Peabo Bryson on Beauty and the Beast in 1991, was a massive hit, noted, “My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo. Love, - Celine xx...”

It’s worth mentioning here that Bryson passed away in Marietta, Georgia, three days after suffering a stroke, on June 2.

The late singer is survived by wife, Tanya Bonaface Bryson, his children Robert and Linda.
