She addressed Sherman's fans in the post and asked for people's understanding and respect for their privacy.

In her March 25, 2025, Facebook post, Bobby Sherman's wife, Brigitte Poublon, revealed that the former teen star was diagnosed with cancer. While she didn't specify what type of cancer it was, she revealed the severity of the illness, stating that it had already progressed to stage 4. Only a week later, Poublon shared the heartbreaking news that Sherman's cancer had "spread everywhere."
In a phone interview with Fox Digital News, cited by The New York Post on April 2, Poublon confirmed that Bobby Sherman was "terminally ill." She said that the TV icon has been spending his time at home "with special care."
Poublon also shared a few more details about Sherman's diagnosis, saying that it was kidney cancer and that it had already "spread everywhere." She shared:
"He was doing crossword puzzles with me in the last few days. And then all of a sudden, Saturday, he turned around and...he's just sleeping more, and his body is not working anymore. It's not. Everything is shutting down."
The night before, she said, Sherman was still at the hospital, but he requested to return home. Per The New York Post, Bobby Sherman formally retired in 2024 but continued to do autographs. However, according to Poublon, with his cancer battle and declining health, the actor can "barely sign his name" and wishes "to be left in peace" to spend time with his family and his dogs.

Meanwhile, his acting credits include Here Come the Brides, Shindig!, Fantasy Land, The Love Boat, and Murder, She Wrote.
His last TV appearance was in the 1997 episode of Frasier, where he played a fictional version of himself.
