“I hope Pete had some great final chapters to his life! Naked Eyes still tracks in several of my playlists today," one person penned on X.

“A legend indeed. RIP," commented a fourth one.

In 1984, Peter announced his departure from Naked Eyes following the release of the group's second album, Feul For The Fire.

The musician dropped his first solo album, titled The Real Illusion, in 2001.
