John Stamos, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill Mumy and More Pay Tribute to Bobby Sherman

Actor and singer Bobby Sherman passed away after a long battle with cancer, according to a statement released by his wife, Brigitte Poulson Sherman. She wrote on Instagram, “It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman. 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. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was—brave, gentle, and full of light.”
Friends and fans from throughout Sherman’s life have posted tributes to the former teen idol, who stepped away from the spotlight later and pursued a life in emergency services.
