BBG News

1960s heartthrob Bobby Sherman, famous for his popular song “Little Woman,” has received a diagnosis of stage four cancer.

The 1960s teen sensation Bobby Sherman, known best for his hit tune “Little Woman,” has been diagnosed with stage four cancer.

In the early 1970s, Sherman, who is now 81, mostly stepped away from the world of entertainment, yet he’s managed to maintain a dedicated following throughout the years.

I, Bobby Sherman, wanted to share some personal news with you, my dear admirers. In an emotional post on Brigitte Poublon’s Facebook page, she revealed the health challenge I’m currently facing. This journey has been filled with ups and downs, but your love and support mean more to me than words can express during this time. Thank you for standing by my side through it all.

‘You may be aware that Bobby has been out of active service for quite a while now. This means he can no longer take part in guest roles, sign memorabilia, or attend events.’

Poublon expressed: ‘Sadly, Bobby was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We appreciate your patience and consideration during this difficult period as we protect our privacy.’

To sum up, Poublon – the one who tied the knot with Sherman in 2010 in Las Vegas – penned down: ‘We’re truly grateful that you haven’t forgotten him. Your thoughtfulness means a lot to us.’

Sherman hails from Santa Monica and shone as a high school football prodigy, boasting an All-American appearance and a captivating grin that catapulted him to fame.

In the groovy ’60s, I found myself gracing a star-studded soiree with Jane Fonda, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo in attendance. Little did I know that this chance encounter would be the catalyst for my professional journey as they asked me to serenade them – a moment that would forever change my life.

At that party, he established the vital contacts leading him to secure a position as a regular singer on the hit variety show Shindig!, which started in 1964.

In 1968, he achieved stardom on the television series “Here Come The Brides,” set in Seattle following the Civil War, where the main characters were solitary loggers.

In a different phrasing, Sherman portrayed the affable character, Jeremy Bolt, who had a stutter, and was among the trio of brothers aiming to persuade women to move to Seattle for a year, providing companionship to the male population.

1969 marked the pinnacle of Sherman’s singing career when he scored a major hit with the catchy bubblegum pop song “Little Woman.” In this song, he implores his significant other to make up her mind and step into his world, letting go of her own.

By 1970, the television show “Here Come The Brides” concluded, leaving Sherman as the on-air personality who received the most fan mail on ABC-TV at that time.

He kept releasing popular songs; among them were “La La La (If I Had You)” from 1969, along with “Julie, Do Ya Love Me” and “Easy Come, Easy Go,” both from 1970.

Additionally, Sherman made frequent appearances on television during that time, gracing screens on beloved series such as The Monkees and The Partridge Family.

By the mid-1970s, he mostly stepped out of the limelight, coming back infrequently for occasional concerts, often for corporate events or charitable causes.

Later in his career, he chose to focus on emergency services. He served as a paramedic and taught first aid to the Los Angeles Police Department personnel, as well as trainees at the LA Police Department Academy.

In 1999, Sherman was recognized as the Officer of the Year within the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Five years after that, he received another honor when a speech was given about him on the U.S. House of Representatives’ floor.

In 2004, Representative Buck McKeon, a Republican from California, stated on the House floor that Bobby serves as an exceptional embodiment of the saying, “To protect and serve.

During his long career in public service, Sherman delighted fans once more by stepping back into the spotlight in 1998 as part of the Teen Idols In Concert tour, which was themed around nostalgia. He shared the stage with Davy Jones from The Monkees and Peter Noone from Herman’s Hermits on this tour.
