Bobby Sherman, a 1960s teen idol and pop singer, died at the age of 81.

His second wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced the death Tuesday after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in March.

“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,” she posted.

“Here Come the Brides” actor was signed as a regular vocalist for the ABC musical variety show “Shindig!” in 1964.

“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,” Poublon’s post read. “He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners.”

The actor/singer was known for such musical hits as “You Make Me Happy,” “Hey Little Girl,” “Happiness Is,” “Little Woman,” “La La La (If I Had You),” “Easy Come, Easy Go,” “Hey, Mister Sun,” and “Julie, Do Ya Love Me.”

He also appeared on such shows as “Getting Together,” “The Mod Squad, Emergency!” and “Murder She Wrote.”

Sherman made the announcement via actor John Stamos’ Instagram because she and Stamos are good friends.

“From one ex teen idol, to another – rest in peace, Bobby Sherman,” Stamos posted.
