Bobby Sherman diagnosed with stage 4 cancer

Former actor and musician Bobby Sherman has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, his family announced this week.

Brigitte Poublon, his wife of 14 years, shared the news with her husband’s “cherished fans” on Facebook.

Sherman, 81, rose to fame as a teen idol in the 1960s, appearing as a house singer in the musical variety show “Shindig!” followed by acting roles in series such as “Here Come the Brides,” “The Partridge Family” and its short-lived spinoff “Getting Together.”
