Bobby Sherman, teen idol and 'Here Come the Brides' star, dies at 81 after cancer battle
Bobby Sherman, the pop singer and actor known for his heartthrob status in the 1960s, has passed away at 81. His death was confirmed by his second wife, Brigitte Poublon, who shared a heartfelt tribute on Tuesday. Sherman had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in March, and Poublon described his final moments, saying, "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." Sherman rose to fame as a singer on the ABC musical variety show Shindig! in 1964, where he performed for a dedicated fanbase. His popularity as a teen idol soared during the late '60s, with hits like "Little Woman," "La La La (If I Had You)," "Julie, Do Ya Love Me," and "Easy Come, Easy Go." These tracks reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, solidifying his place in pop culture. Alongside his singing career, Sherman found success as an actor, most notably in the role of Jeremy Bolt on the 1968-70 TV series Here Come the Brides. The show, loosely inspired by Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, was a Western drama set in the 1860s that became a hit with fans. While his musical career and acting roles continued to thrive, Sherman's life outside the spotlight evolved. In the 1970s, he became a dedicated emergency medical technician and later trained paramedics in CPR and first aid. He also worked as a reserve police officer in Los Angeles and a deputy sheriff in San Bernardino County. "There's not a better feeling in the world than when you're responsible for saving someone's life," Sherman once said. Sherman's charitable side shone through with the founding of the Brigitte & Bobby Sherman Children's Foundation in 2011. Survivors include his two sons, Christopher and Tyler, and six grandchildren. Sherman's influence as a teen idol and his transition into public service made him a beloved figure, remembered for both his entertainment career and his community contributions.
