Bobby Sherman’s name once made millions of hearts skip a beat. Today, it’s his courage that’s inspiring them. The 1960s music and TV icon has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer, a battle his wife, Brigitte Poublon, says he’s facing with quiet strength.
Sherman’s rise to fame was meteoric—hit songs, sold-out shows, and adoring fans who plastered his face on their walls. But fame never changed his humble spirit. After stepping back from entertainment, he dedicated himself to public service, working as a paramedic and police reserve officer.
Now, in his final chapter, he’s surrounded by love. Brigitte shared that he’s mostly sleeping, his body weakening, but his heart full. Close friends like John Stamos have reached out, though Brigitte gently asked Stamos not to visit in person, wanting to preserve Bobby’s peace.
The couple’s greatest pride remains their foundation in Ghana, which feeds and educates hundreds of children. Though Sherman never visited, Brigitte says it’s their “labor of love,” a legacy that will outlive them both.
Fans are sharing memories of how his music shaped their lives, along with messages of support. As one wrote, “You gave us joy—now we send it back to you tenfold.”
