John Stamos Says Goodbye To Friend Who Shared The Spotlight: 'From One Ex Teen Idol To Another'

Bobby Sherman, the iconic 1960s teen heartthrob who captivated millions with his voice, charm, and screen presence, and a close friend of John Stamos, has died at the age of 81.

The singer and actor was surrounded by loved ones in his final moments, including his wife of 29 years, Brigitte Poublon Sherman, who shared a moving tribute to her husband on social media, joined by fellow entertainer John Stamos.

Bobby Sherman passed away from stage 4 cancer at his home in Encino, Los Angeles.

“From one ex teen idol, to another, rest in peace Bobby Sherman,” Stamos wrote in the heartfelt post, reflecting on the life of a man whose career, and personal legacy, left a lasting impact.

In her tribute, Brigitte remembered Bobby not just as a pop sensation and television star, but as a devoted partner, a loving father and grandfather, and a man of service.

“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. “I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming.”

Even in his final days, Brigitte said Bobby remained strong, witty, and full of the same light that once made fans swoon across the globe. She read fan letters to him from around the world, sharing words of love and gratitude that reminded him just how cherished he was.

“He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye,” she recalled, adding that his signature sense of humor never faded.

Beyond the spotlight, Sherman found a second calling in public service, trading red carpets for emergency vehicles when he became an EMT and later trained with the LAPD.

According to Brigitte, he “saved lives” and became a quiet example of “real heroism.”

Sherman is survived by his two sons, Tyler and Christopher, and six grandchildren.

“He lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart,” Brigitte wrote. “Though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy, his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission.”

The news of Sherman’s passing hit home for many who grew up with his music and posters on their walls. Social media quickly filled with emotional tributes from fans who remembered him not only as a star, but as a formative figure in their youth.

Many recalled their earliest memories of Bobby’s music and charm.

Several reflected on how deeply the loss hit them, with messages like, “Noooooo. This was my first celebrity crush,” and “My childhood crush. I’m heartbroken.”

Others expressed sympathy directly toward John Stamos, with one user writing, “I am so sorry for your loss @johnstamos. Sending hugs to you right now.”
