Bobby Sherman, a 1960s teen idol and pop star who later turned to public service, has died at 81. His wife, Brigitte Poublon Sherman, and actor/musician John Stamos announced his passing in June.
Sherman was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer in late March and had been told that the cancer had “spread everywhere,” causing his body to shut down. Despite this, he remained strong for his wife, saying she was his “Cinderella” and he her “prince charming.”
Throughout the 1960s, Sherman became known for his hit songs like “Little Woman” and a starring role on TV series “Here Come the Brides.” He also volunteered at the Los Angeles Police Department from the 1990s to 2017, earning recognition as the department’s reserve officer of the year in 1999.
Sherman was also a devoted family man, leaving behind two sons and six grandchildren. His charity work with his wife, including the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation in Ghana, further showcased his commitment to helping others.
Born in Santa Monica, California, in 1943, Sherman kicked off his career as a singer after being invited to perform at a Hollywood party attended by industry bigwigs. His music success led to TV roles on “Shindig!” and appearances on popular series like “Honey West” and “The Monkees.” After retiring from the spotlight, Sherman dedicated himself to emergency services, inspiring fans with his quiet heroism.
Sherman is survived by Poublon, Stamos, and their loved ones.
