Bobby Sherman’s wife, Brigitte Poublon, recently shared a heartbreaking update about her husband’s health.
In a phone interview with Fox News Digital, Poublon confirmed that the 81-year-old singer and actor is “terminally ill” and receiving special care at home.
She had previously revealed on Facebook that Sherman has stage 4 kidney cancer, which has “spread everywhere.”
Sherman, who officially retired last year, continued signing autographs for fans, but now, according to Poublon, he “can barely sign his name” and wants to spend his remaining time in peace with family and their five dogs.
“His last words from the hospital last night were, ‘Brig, I just want to go home,’” she shared.
Fans have been sending overwhelming love and support, which Poublon deeply appreciates. She also mentioned that their close friend John Stamos is sending a personal video message to Sherman, as she advised against visiting him in person.
Stamos and Sherman became close after the Full House star supported the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation.
Sherman’s Hollywood journey began through a friendship with Rebel Without a Cause star Sal Mineo. At a birthday party hosted by Mineo, Sherman sang “Happy Birthday” and caught the attention of Jane Fonda and Natalie Wood, who helped him land an agent.
That led to his first TV role as a house singer on ABC’s Shindig!, which he “really loved.”
He remained close friends with Wood and was devastated by her passing. His big break came with ABC’s Here Comes the Brides, which skyrocketed him to fame. “Fans went crazy for Bobby.”
Poublon recalled, noting that his concerts were scheduled for midday because his audience was mostly young kids—something Sherman found amusing since he was a daytime person rather than a night owl.
After his entertainment career, Sherman transitioned into public service, working as a paramedic, a technical reserve police officer with the LAPD, and a reserve deputy sheriff in San Bernardino County. Poublon said this work was a “labor of love” for him.
Together, the couple founded the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation, dedicated to providing education and meals to children in Ghana.
The foundation operates on five and a half acres, serving over 375 meals daily (soon increasing to 500), offering classrooms, computers, a music room, and even covering college tuition.
Sherman and Poublon’s love story began when her brother arranged for him to attend her 40th birthday party. They quickly formed a friendship, and he supported her charity events.
She had long admired him but was never “celebrity-crazed,” which she believes drew him to her.
Now, Poublon hopes Sherman can feel the impact he made through his music, acting, and public service while he is still here.
“I want him to realize how many lives he touched,” she said. From fan letters, she has seen how his music helped people through difficult childhoods, and she wants him to know just how much he is loved and appreciated.
