Peter Byrne, the singer and co-founder of the 1980s band Naked Eyes, dies at age 74. Multiple outlets report that his death is announced by the band, with Deadline adding that Byrne dies peacefully in Los Angeles on Monday, September 14, following a brief illness.
Naked Eyes is best known for charting hits in the early and mid-1980s, including “Always Something There to Remind Me” and “Promises, Promises.” Rolling Stone highlights Byrne’s role in the group and the band’s success with those songs, while Deadline focuses on the circumstances of his death and the same list of signature hits. Together, the coverage centers on Byrne’s public legacy as the frontman of Naked Eyes rather than on personal details beyond his passing.
Both sources agree on his age, his band affiliation, and the enduring popularity of the group’s major 1980s records.
