In a new update, Bobby Sherman’s wife, Brigitte Poublon, opened up about the singer’s health and life away from the spotlight.

Brigitte told Fox News Digital that Bobby, 81, is “terminally ill” with stage 4 kidney cancer that has “spread everywhere” in an interview that was published on Wednesday, April 2.

“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’s not working anymore. It’s not. Everything’s shutting down,” she told the outlet of her husband’s condition.

She said that the “Little Woman” singer would like “to be left in peace” and spend time with his loved ones amid his cancer battle.

“His last words from the hospital last night were, ‘Brig, I just want to go home,’” Brigitte revealed.

On March 25, she publicly revealed Bobby’s cancer diagnosis in a post on Facebook and thanked fans for their support.

“To all of Bobby Sherman’s cherished fans,” Brigitte wrote in the post. “As many of you know, Bobby has been retired for some time and is no longer able to participate in cameos, sign autographs, or make appearances.”

“It is with a heavy heart that we share Bobby has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer,” the post continued. “During this challenging time, we kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy. Thank you so much for still remembering him. We really appreciate it.”

Fans of the star gathered in the comments section of the Facebook post to show their support for Bobby.

“My heart breaks for Bobby and his family. He has been such a positive influence on my life from that Bobby concert when I was 7 sitting in the balcony, waving the peace sign – to exchanging a few letters with him about my writing — to meeting him in 1998 at a teen idol concert in Myrtle Beach – to singing along with Hey Mr. Sun every morning of the pandemic to get me through — Bobby, thank you so very much for being you and for sharing your talent and your character with us. Praying for you,” one person commented on the post.

“So very sorry to hear this. Will keep him in my prayers. He’s been so gracious to so many over the years,” another person wrote.

“Thank you for letting us know. I loved him in Here Comes the Bride. He has given so much of himself to so many fans over the years; sharing his gifts, talents and kindness with us,” someone else commented on the post.

The couple has been married for over a decade and has worked together on philanthropic efforts over the years, including launching the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation, “a Ghana-based youth center dedicated to blending music and education together.”

Brigitte said that Bobby has received support from his famous friends, including Full House alum John Stamos, who became an ambassador for the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation. “John’s been very great about giving support the last few years too,” she told the outlet.
