1960s teen idol Bobby Sherman, who was beloved for his hit single Little Woman, has died at the age of 81 after a battle with cancer.

Sherman, now 81, largely withdrew from the entertainment industry in the 1970s, but has retained a devoted fanbase through the years.

His wife Brigitte Poublon heartbreakingly announced in March that her husband had received a diagnosis of stage four cancer.

By early April, she disclosed that his body was ‘shutting down’ and he was ‘at home with special care’ after a stay in the hospital.

Now a longtime friend of his has disclosed that Sherman succumbed to his illness this Tuesday morning at home in the Los Angeles suburb of Encino, via TMZ.

In a statement posted to Instagram by Sherman’s pal John Stamos, Poublon announced that her husband ‘left this world holding my hand.’
