Celine Dion has issued a statement reacting to the passing of the legendary Peabo Bryson who died today at 75.

“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.  

He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast.

He made me so comfortable, as I 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. His voice and his talent will be missed…

My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo.”

🩰 À 100 ans, Evelyn Cordero enseigne toujours la danse classique.

➡️ La ballerine a ouvert son école en 1994 et pratique la danse depuis ses 4 ans. Une passion qui l’a toujours animée.

Si elle a dû troquer ses chaussons contre des baskets avec l’âge, elle ne compte pas s’arrêter d’enseigner. Pour elle, danser est bien plus qu’un sport

If we don’t SUPPORT our own, who will?

The Black Coaches Association proudly congratulates both NBA Finals head coaches, Mike Brown and Mitch Johnson.

History will be made as two Black head coaches meet on basketball’s biggest stage in the 2026 NBA Finals.

This opportunity has only happened a handful of times in NBA history, making this moment even more significant for the game and for the next generation of coaches who aspire to lead at the highest level.

No matter the outcome, one thing is certain:

A Black head coach will be crowned NBA Champion.

We celebrate the leadership, resilience, preparation, and excellence that both coaches have displayed throughout their journeys.

Good luck to Coach Brown and Coach Johnson.

They WIN. WE WIN. ✊🏾🏆
