Peabo Bryson's Netflix Deal and Secret Vegas Residency Revealed: 5 Things You Need to Know
- Peabo Bryson has just inked a first-look deal with Netflix for a documentary series chronicling his 50-year career, including never-before-seen footage from his secret Las Vegas residency that ran for three months in 2024.
- The residency, dubbed "An Evening of Soul and Secrets," was kept off mainstream ticket platforms and only promoted through private radio segments, featuring duets with holograms of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion for "Beauty and the Beast."
- Bryson also confirms he's recording his first new studio album in seven years, titled "The Love Chronicles," with a surprise feature from Bruno Mars on a track called "Second Kiss."
- In a viral twist, Bryson admitted during the Netflix pitch that he once turned down a cameo in "The Bodyguard" because he "didn't want to mess up Whitney's vibe," a decision he now calls "the biggest mistake of my career."
- The documentary will explore his rivalry with Luther Vandross, with unreleased demo tapes showing they were working on a joint album before Vandross's death—something fans have speculated about for decades.
