Peter Byrne, the frontman for the iconic 1980s band Naked Eyes, passed away on Monday, September 14, 2026, at the age of 74. His death, attributed to a brief illness, was announced on the band's official website. Byrne, alongside keyboardist Rob Fisher, formed Naked Eyes in 1982 in their native England.
The duo achieved significant success on Billboard's Hot 100, with "Always Something There to Remind Me" reaching number 8 in 1983. This hit, a cover of a Dionne Warwick classic, helped secure their record deal. Their debut album, "Burning Bridges," also featured the successful single "Promises, Promises."
Naked Eyes disbanded after their second album, "Fuel For The Fire," failed to match the debut's success. Fisher died in 1999 at 42. Byrne continued his music career, releasing solo work and two more Naked Eyes albums.
Beyond Naked Eyes, Byrne lent his voice to Stevie Wonder's 1985 hit "Part-Time Lover." He also showcased his songwriting talent by composing "I Am The Cute One" for the Olsen Twins in 1993. Byrne participated in several 1980s-themed reunion tours in the US and Canada.
