Former teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman, who rose to fame in the 1960s, has died according to TMZ.
On June 24, Full House actor John Stamos shared a statement from Sherman’s wife, Brigitte Poublon Sherman, on Instagram.
“It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman. Bobby left this world holding my hand—just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was—brave, gentle, and full of light,” the statement read.
“As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners,” she continued.
“He lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart. And though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy—his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission. Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it,” she added.
Dozens of fans have reacted to the post, sending warm thoughts to Sherman’s family and friends.
Back in March, Brigitte shared that her husband had been diagnosed with cancer.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share Bobby has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. During this challenging time, we kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy,” she captioned a candid Facebook post.
Sherman had a number of hit singles over the course of his career, which primarily spanned between 1962 to 1976. He officially retired from music in 2001.
He is survived by his wife, two sons, Tyler and Christopher, and six grandchildren.
