LOS ANGELES – Bobby Sherman, known for being a teen heartthrob in the 1960s, has died. He was 81 years old.

His wife, Brigitte Poublon, confirmed Sherman’s death to Fox News Digital.

Crafted with the help of friend John Stamos, Poublon shared the news of Sherman’s death on social media.

“It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman,” Stamos wrote on Instagram on behalf of Poublon. “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 died at his home in Encino, California, on Tuesday, according to TMZ.

He is survived by two sons, Christopher and Tyler, and his wife.

Stage 4 cancer diagnosis

Dig deeper:

Sherman was diagnosed with stage four cancer in March of this year. His wife, Brigitte Poublon shared the news on her Facebook page earlier this year.

Poublon noted on Tuesday that her late husband was “a man of service” who “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,” Poublon wrote. “Bobby is survived by his two sons, Tyler and Christopher, and six beautiful grandchildren.

“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.”

A Hollywood party that changed Sherman’s life

The backstory:

Sherman hit true teen idol status in 1968, when he appeared in “Here Come the Brides,” a comedy-adventure set in boom town Seattle in the 1870s. He sang the show’s theme song, “Seattle,” and starred as young logger Jeremy Bolt, often at loggerheads with brother, played by David Soul. It lasted two seasons.

Following the series, Sherman starred in “Getting Together,” a spinoff of “The Partridge Family,” about a songwriter struggling to make it in the music business. He became the first performer to star in three TV series before the age of 30. That television exposure soon translated into a fruitful recording career: His first single, “Little Woman,” earned a gold record in 1969.

“While the rest of the world seemed jumbled up and threatening, Sherman’s smiling visage beamed from the bedroom walls of hundreds of thousands of teen-age girls, a reassuring totem against the riots, drugs, war protests and free love that raged outside,” The Tulsa World said in 1997.

His movies included “Wild In Streets,” “He is My Brother” and “Get Crazy.”

Life as a public servant

Sherman left the Hollywood spotlight and became a emergency medical technician in 1988, citing his longtime fascination with medicine.

He began learning basic first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation from the Red Cross and soon, he was working for the Los Angeles Police Department.

Sherman was also a reserve deputy with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, even working as security at courthouses.
