				Some bands simply can't survive the loss of their iconic frontman. Join us as we count down our picks for the bands that were never quite the same after replacing their lead singer! From legendary rock acts to punk pioneers, these vocalist changes left lasting damage on some of music's greatest legacies. Our countdown includes Van Halen losing David Lee Roth, INXS struggling after Michael Hutchence's tragic passing, Iron Maiden's rocky Blaze Bayley era, Fleetwood Mac's forgettable &quot;Time&quot; album, Deep Purple cycling through frontmen, and many more! Which singer change do you think hurt their band the most? Let us know in the comments below!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ever since Crowded House debuted in 1986 I never understood why the song Don't Dream It's Over became a hit for Crowded House?  Is it because of the message the song has or is it because it was a surprise hit?  Because i'm noticing that a lot of singers and groups have now covered Don't Dream It's Over from Diana Krall Sixpence None The Richer and Susan Boyle and it was featured as the anthem in the 2025 animated movie Goat.  I am surprised that Don't Dream It's Over has become a popular song now and it seems to have smart lyrics in it</div>

				Above all others I've done, this one really hit me hard. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSLre06Wy5Y" target="_blank">The Roxette Story</a>. This week, we dig into the wild rise and devastating collapse of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-zfM6uMAoE" target="_blank">Roxette</a>, the Swedish pop duo that sold 75 million records, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ToddintheShadow/comments/1cck7y8/comment/l16gqaw/" target="_blank">landed four number-one hits </a>in America, and then watched it all unravel when a brain tumor nearly killed the singer. Per Gessle was a pop songwriter from a small Swedish town who wanted to conquer the world. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq5AZCtLSTI" target="_blank">Marie Fredriksson</a> was a rock vocalist with a voice that could peel paint off walls. <br />
<br />
Their label stuck them together in 1986, and within three years they owned American radio. We cover the whole ride &#8212; the exchange student from Minnesota who hand-delivered their demo tape to a radio station and accidentally broke them in America, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qLQic_l4GY" target="_blank">the Pretty Woman soundtrack</a> that turned <a href="https://stereogum.com/2161239/the-number-ones-roxettes-it-must-have-been-love/columns/the-number-ones" target="_blank">&quot;It Must Have Been Love&quot;</a> into one of the biggest ballads of the '90s, and the Joyride album that moved 11 million copies. <br />
<br />
We get into <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ToddintheShadow/comments/1f90g8a/comment/llig9lo/" target="_blank">how grunge</a> <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/CreatorKiller/Music" target="_blank">killed their American career</a> overnight, how EMI gutted their US operation and <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/ToddInTheShadowsTrainwreckords" target="_blank">turned their album into a McDonald's promotion</a>, and how Marie's world came crashing down in 2002 when she collapsed on her bathroom floor and doctors found a tumor pressed against her brain stem. We cover the surgery that took her sight, her balance, and her ability to speak &#8212; and the impossible comeback tour she pulled off anyway, performing from a stool because she couldn't stand without falling over. <br />
<br />

<br />
Peabo Bryson has died at the age of 75. The singer was known for singing soul ballads, and particularly duets. In 1991, &quot;Beauty and the Beast,&#8221; his duet of the title song from the Disney film with Céline Dion, became a massive hit. A year later, he and Regina Belle released &quot;A Whole New World&quot; from Aladdin, and it became the first song from an animated film to reach No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100.<br />
<br />
Bryson died Tuesday, June 2 surrounded by family, just days after suffering a stroke.<br />
<br />
&#8220;We are tremendously moved by the outpouring of love, prayers and support from fans, friends, and colleagues around the world,&#8221; Bryson's family said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. &#8220;While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing how deeply Peabo was loved and how many lives were touched by his voice and his generous spirit. His legacy and music will live on for generations to come.&#8221;<br />
<br />
Bryson was born Robert Peapo Bryson in Greenville, S.C., in 1951. &#8220;And, as far back as I can remember, I've always been into music,&#8221; he told Soul magazine in 1978. &#8220;It's all I ever wanted to really deal with, and of course, like everyone else, I had to make that decision &#8212; I guess when I was around 14 &#8212; as to what I was going to get into, career-wise. Well, I'd thought about being a doctor or something like that, but I really felt that music was my thing.&#8221;<br />
<br />
His mother was concerned: &#8220;She figured I'd turn into a drug addict or something like that!&#8221; he told the outlet.<br />
<br />
Bryson began performing professionally as a teenager, singing backup with a local group called  Al Freeman and the Upsetters, an outfit he described as &quot;terrible&quot; in the Soul interview. Freeman had trouble pronouncing Peapo, and Bryson began using the name Peabo instead.<br />
<br />
Later, Bryson toured the Chitlin' Circuit with Moses Dillard and the Tex-Town Display. Bang Records heard them perform and was impressed with Bryson. He released one album, Peabo, with the label in 1976 before moving to Capitol Records.<br />
<br />
His first Top 10 hit on the R&amp;B chart was 1978's &quot;Reaching for the Sky.&#8221; In 1979, &quot;Gimme Some Time,&#8221; his duet with Natalie Cole, hit No. 8 on the chart, a preview of his duet success to come. They released &quot;What You Won't Do for Love&quot; a year later, and it reached No. 16. Bryson also had a Top 20 hit with &quot;Minute by Minute,&#8221; a cover of the Doobie Brothers song. <br />
<br />
In 1980, he released his first duet with Flack, &quot;Make the World Stand Still.&#8221; It hit No. 13 on the R&amp;B chart. They would also release the duets &quot;Love Is a Waiting Game,&#8221; &quot;You're Lookin' Like Love to Me,&#8221; &quot;I Just Came Here to Dance&quot; and their most successful, &quot;Tonight, I Celebrate My Love,&#8221; which reached No. 16 on the Hot 100. They also released the 1983 duets album Born to Love.<br />
<br />
&#8220;I think the secret to a really good duet is that you have to fall a little bit in love with your duet partner,&#8221; Bryson told Tatler Asia in 2015. &#8220;I was very fortunate in finding a duet partner in Roberta Flack who really knew what a duet was and knew how to play to a person's strengths and weaknesses equally. I learned how to do a great duet from working with Roberta Flack because she's that great.&#8221;<br />
<br />
In 1984, &quot;If Ever You're in My Arms Again&quot; was Bryson's first Top 10 single on the Hot 100. He released &quot;Show &amp; Tell&quot; in 1989, and it hit No. 1 on the R&amp;B chart; he scored another R&amp;B chart-topper with 1991's &quot;Can You Stop the Rain.&#8221;<br />
<br />
1991 also brought &quot;Beauty and the Beast.&#8221; Initially, Dion had been chosen to sing the song solo, but execs worried that she was too new and wanted a more established artist. &#8220;When you're a great singer like [Dion], oftentimes you find yourself in situations where you have to dial back,&#8221; Bryson told the CBC in 2017. &#8220;I learned that from doing duets. The key to it is to play to your duet partner's strength and weaknesses equally. So essentially that renders into a situation where there are no weaknesses because you're playing to them both equally.&#8221;<br />
<br />
He said Dion was very tentative at first, but they slowly built a rapport in the studio. <br />
<br />
He remembered, &#8220;I looked across at her, and she looked back at me and what went on from the point of becoming relaxed was extremely intimate. You can't buy that. You can record it, though.&#8221;<br />
<br />
Their duet became a massive success, reaching No. 9 on the Hot 100 and winning them both a Grammy. Bryson told the CBC, &#8220;I never ever got tired of listening to it.&#8221;<br />
<br />
Disney turned to Bryson again for 1992's &quot;A Whole New World,&#8221; which he sang with Belle. Bryson and Belle had also worked together on the song  &quot;Without You&quot; for the 1988 movie Leonard Part 6, and she wanted Bryson to join her on the track because she knew they worked well together.<br />
<br />
&#8220;That &#8216;Whole New World' concept&#8230; that is what really took us over the top,&#8221; Belle told ABC Radio in 2019. &#8220;Because when you think about it, a &#8216;whole new world' can be ascribed to most&#8230; everything&#8230; that has made a difference in your life.&#8221;<br />
<br />
Bryson added, &#8220;It's a song that represents every hope and every promise that you will ever have. I sang it in South Africa for the first time they allowed Black South Africans to enter into the Miss South Africa beauty pageant.&#8221;<br />
<br />
Their version of the song hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 and would remain the only song from an animated film to do so until &#8220;We Don't Talk About Bruno&#8221; from Encanto in 2022. Bryson and Belle also won a Grammy.<br />
<br />
He returned to Disney again in 1997 and sang &quot;As Long As There's Christmas&quot; with Flack during the end credits of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, a direct-to-video sequel.<br />
<br />
Bryson at times felt dissatisfied with how the music industry prized youth over experience. He and singers like Flack were never played by MTV, which he believed was &#8220;detrimental&#8221; to the industry.<br />
<br />
&quot;I don't think there's anything I can't do,&#8221; he told the Los Angeles Times in 1994. &#8220;I see myself as a true Renaissance man. I don't like one-dimensional concepts of myself.&#8221;<br />
<br />
In total, Bryson released 20 studio albums. He was an eight-time Grammy nominee. <br />
<br />
Bryson suffered a heart attack in 2019 but made a full recovery. <br />
<br />
Bryson welcomed a daughter, Linda, in 1968. He wed Tanya Boniface, a member of the British girl group The 411, in 2010, and they welcomed a son, Robert, in 2018. <br />
<br />
Bryson is survived by his wife and children.</div>
