Celine Dion remembers late Peabo Bryson

Canadian Celine Dion paid tribute to her Disney duet partner Peabo Bryson following his death at 75.

The My Heart Will Go On hitmaker took to her Instagram Stories, writing that she was “heartbroken” by the news.

In 1991, the duo famously collaborated on the title track for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which went on to become a massive global hit. “I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today. His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance,” she wrote underneath an image of them at the 1993 American Music Awards.

The French singer further mentioned, “He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast”. Celine continued, “He made me so comfortable, as I was just trying to learn to sing English. He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…”

“My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo. Love, Celine xx,” she concluded her sweet tribute.
