Full House star and musician John Stamos took to social media Tuesday morning to share the sad news.
“From one ex-teen idol to another – rest in peace, Bobby Sherman,” Stamos wrote on Instagram.
Stamos also included a message from Sherman’s wife, Brigette Poublon.
“It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman,” she began. “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,” she continued.
In an April interview with Fox News, Poublon shared that the teen idol’s body was “shutting down” following his stage 4 cancer diagnosis in March.
“Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was—brave, gentle, and full of light. As he rested, 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,” Poublon added.
“Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it. Rest gently, my love. With gratitude and love, 
Brigitte Poublon Sherman,” she concluded.
