The former teen idol who inspired generations has passed, leaving behind cherished memories of music, love, and service.
Bobby Sherman, the 1960s pop idol known for his chart-topping hits and television fame, died on June 24, 2025, at the age of 81. His wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced his passing in a heartfelt message shared by actor John Stamos on Instagram.
Sherman had been facing advanced kidney cancer, a diagnosis Poublon revealed in April during an interview with Fox News Digital. At the time, she said the illness had “spread everywhere” and that he was “at home with special care.”
In her tribute, Poublon described his final moments as intimate and peaceful. “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,” she wrote.
She recalled reading letters from fans aloud to him, which he listened to with a familiar sparkle in his eyes. Despite everything, his sense of humor remained. “He still found time to crack well-timed jokes,” she added.

After stepping away from entertainment, Sherman dedicated himself to public service. “He saved lives,” Poublon wrote. “He showed us what real heroism looks like—quiet, selfless, and deeply human.”
He is survived by Poublon, their two sons, Tyler and Christopher, and six grandchildren. Poublon described him as a man who “lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart.”
In her closing words, she expressed gratitude to his fans: “Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it. Rest gently, my love.”
Sherman rose to stardom with hits such as “Julie, Do Ya Love Me,” “Little Woman,” and “Easy Come, Easy Go.” He also gained widespread recognition for his role in the television series Here Come the Brides.
