Bobby Sherman was a beloved teen idol who charmed audiences in the 1960s with songs like “Little Woman.”
He also starred in a number of television series and movies throughout the years.
Sherman has died at the age 81.
The cause of death was stage 4 cancer, according to TMZ, which reported that Sherman died on the morning of June 24 at his home in Encino, CA.
Actor John Stamos posted a tribute to Sherman on his Instagram page.
“From one ex teen idol, to another – rest in peace Bobby Sherman,” he wrote. This is from his wife, my friend, Brigitte.”
Stamos then shared the statement from Sherman’s wife, which read, in part, “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.”
“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,” the post continued.
“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 added: “Known around the world for his music and acting, he brought joy to millions through songs like ‘Julie Love Me,’ ‘Easy Come, Easy Go,’ and ‘Little Woman,’ and through his beloved role in Here Come the Brides.”
Brigitte Sherman added: ” 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.”
In addition to his wife, Sherman “is survived by his two sons, Tyler and Christopher, and six beautiful grandchildren,” she wrote.
