Brigitte Poublon Made Sure Fans Were Close To Bobby Sherman During Final Days

As for the announcement from Poublon, it not only shared the sad news but showed the type of person Sherman was off the stage. “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.”

Poublon added that during his final days, she took time to remind him of the impact he had on generations of music lovers. “I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him.”

Having spent nearly 30 years together, Poublon noted how he gave up the fame and “sold-out concerts” to become a paramedic and help save lives. Considering him a hero, she continued, “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.”

He felt it. Rest gently, my love.”
