Bobby Sherman, Teen Music and Television Star, Dead at 81

Bobby Sherman, the former teen star who appeared in Here Comes the Brides and recorded the Billboard Hot 100 hits 'Julie, Do You Love Me' and 'Little Woman,' has died. His wife, Brigitte Poublon Sherman, confirmed his death in a statement shared on social media by their family friend, actor John Stamos. Sherman was 81 years old. 'It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman,' the statement reads. '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.' More from Rolling Stone Patrick Walden, Babyshambles Guitarist, Dead at 46 Ananda Lewis, Celebrated MTV VJ, Dead at 52 Brian Wilson, Beach Boys Co-Founder and Architect of Pop, Dead at 82 Brigitte did not share Sherman's cause of death. She celebrated his career, saying, 'known around the world for his music and acting, he brought joy to millions through songs like 'Julie, Do Ya Love Me,' 'Easy Come, Easy Go,' and 'Little Woman,' and through his beloved role in Here Come the Brides.' After Here Comes the Brides was cancelled in 1970, Sherman continued his career with guest appearances on The Mod Squad, The Love Boat, and Murder, She Wrote. He would later appear in the 1983's rock comedy Get Crazy. Brigitte recalled reading her husband letters he received from fans around the world as he rested. 'Words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished,' she said. '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.' When sharing the statement, Stamos wrote, 'From one ex teen idol, to another – rest in peace Bobby Sherman.' Sherman is survived by Brigitte, his two sons, Tyler and Christopher, as well as his six grandchildren. 'To those who truly knew him, Bobby was something much more,' Brigitte said. 'He was a man of service. He traded sold-out concerts and magazine covers for the back of an ambulance, becoming an EMT and a trainer with the LAPD. He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like — quiet, selfless, and deeply human. 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.'

'60s Teen Heartthrob Bobby Sherman Dies at Age 81 at Home in Encino—Where He Famously Built Replica Disneyland for His Kids

Iconic musician and former teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman has passed away at the age of 81 inside his Encino, CA, home—months after revealing that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Sherman's wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced the news of his death in a heartfelt statement that was shared on Instagram by the couple's longtime friend, actor John Stamos. 'It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman,' Brigitte wrote. '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.' Brigitte went on to praise her late husband for his unwavering generosity, detailing how he traded his chart-topping music career to dedicate his life to helping others, as a CPR teacher and an emergency services worker. 'Known around the world for his music and acting, he brought joy to millions through songs like 'Julie, Do Ya Love Me,' 'Easy Come, Easy Go,' and 'Little Woman,' and through his beloved role in 'Here Come the Brides,'' she went on. 'But to those who truly knew him, Bobby was something much more. He was a man of service. He traded sold-out concerts and magazine covers for the back of an ambulance, becoming an EMT and a trainer with the LAPD. He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like—quiet, selfless, and deeply human.' Sherman is survived by his wife, as well as his two sons, Tyler and Christopher, who he shared with his former spouse, Patti Carnel; and six grandchildren. In March, Brigitte shared the news of her husband's kidney cancer diagnosis, telling Fox News that Sherman's body was 'shutting down' and revealing that the singer was undergoing hospice care at their Encino home. 'He was doing crossword puzzles with me in the last few days. And then all of a sudden Saturday, he turned around and … he's just sleeping more and his body's not working anymore. It's not. Everything's shutting down,' she told the outlet. She added that her husband had been receiving treatment at hospital, but that he had expressed his desire to spend his final days at home with his loved ones, recalling: 'His last words from the hospital last night were, 'Brig, I just want to go home.'' The iconic musician shot to fame in the late 1960s, when his hit song 'Little Woman' rocketed up the charts, turning him into a singing legend, while his role in the comedy western series 'Here Come the Brides' transformed him into an on-screen star. At the height of his fame, Sherman confessed that balancing his acting and musical careers became quite the tricky task, explaining that he was constantly traveling back and forth between sets and the stage. 'I'd film five days a week, get on a plane on a Friday night and go someplace for matinee and evening [concerts] Saturday and Sunday, then get on a plane and go back to the studio to start filming again,' he told The Washington Post in 1998. 'It was so hectic for three years that I didn't know what home was. 'I was disoriented—I never knew where I was, always had to be reminded. But, in all honesty, I must say I had the best of times because the concerts were great, the fans were great. It was the proverbial love-in, but it just zapped so much out of me.' However, in the late 1980s, Sherman—who was born in Santa Monica, CA—took a step back from the spotlight, instead choosing to focus on a life of service, although he continued to dabble in minor on-screen roles until the late 1990s. Behind the scenes, Sherman was said to be a doting father to his kids, earning wide praise in the 1980s when it was revealed that he had constructed a replica of Disneyland's iconic Main Street for the boys in the backyard of their Encino home. In an interview with Dateline that was filmed in 1985, Sherman revealed that he'd originally intended to build his sons a treehouse, but he felt that they were too young to safely enjoy it. 'Originally what I was going to do was build my boys a treehouse, but they were rather young and I kept having these nightmares of them falling out,' he confessed. 'So I said, 'Well, I'll try something else, I'll build a western street.' 'The more I thought about that, the more I thought, well, even if it's brand new, to be authentic looking, it's going to look old and beat up. So I decided, I know, I'll build the first two blocks of Main Street at Disneyland.' Sherman noted that he had 'done a lot of work' with Disney throughout his career, so he reached out to the company, who kindly sent him the specs for the section of Main Street that he wanted to build. Still, the project was a much more complex undertaking than he had anticipated, he confessed, revealing: 'I was thinking it was going to take three months… two and a half years later of hard labor, I finished the first two blocks of Main Street, Disneyland.'

Bobby was discovered at a Hollywood cast party for The Greatest Story Ever Told, which he had attended with a girlfriend, at the age of 20 and got his big break when he spent 16 months as a regular vocalist for ABC's musical variety show Shindig! in 1964.

Away from his showbiz career, Bobby served as a reserve police officer in Los Angeles and a deputy sheriff in San Bernadino County, and most recently worked as an emergency medical technician who trained paramedics in CPR and first aid at the Los Angeles Police Academy. He published his autobiography, Still Remembering You, in 1996 and two years later, he returned to concert performance for the first time in 25 years for a Teen Idol Tour with The Monkees' Davy Jones and Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits.
