AMERICAN singer-songwriter Peabo Bryson is coming to Mzansi.
He is bringing his I Wish You Love tour to the country in 2024. The tour will start at the Sun City Superbowl in the North West on 17 February 2024.
The two-time Grammy Award winner is popularly known for singing the title track of iconic movie, Beauty and The Beast, alongside Celine Dion.
Speaking about his music, Peabo said it was inspired by his family and how he grew up.
“My mother was a serious music lover. Whenever there was somebody great in town, she’d drag us along to catch their act. I have seen most of the greats of that period – Sam Cooke, Little Richard and even Billie Holiday. Sam Cooke was a great influence on me. His voice had a pure quality – straight from the heart.

“I think the sensitivity on my songs stems from my early childhood. I was raised by women – my grandmother until she died, and my mother. My grandmother was a woman who lived and loved with incredible passion,” he said.
Organiser of RustyRocks, Teboho Twala, said they are excited for Peabo to visit the country.
“We are happy to welcome the iconic Paebo Bryson onto our shores. It has been a long time coming. Music lovers will be in for a treat this coming Valentine’s Day,” he said.
