'60s teen idol Bobby Sherman diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
Sherman's wife, Brigitte Poublon, confirmed the news to Fox News Digital.
In a statement shared on Facebook, she addressed his "cherished fans," writing, "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. During this challenging time, we kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy."
Poublon concluded the statement, "Thank you so much for still remembering him. We really appreciate it."
Sherman began his career in Hollywood with appearances on episodes of "Honey West" and "The Monkees" before landing his breakout role in the 1968 Western series "Here Come the Brides."
He also began a music career during that time with hit singles like "Little Woman," "Easy Come, Easy Go," "La La La" and "Julie, Do Ya Love Me."
Throughout his career, he also appeared on shows like "Fantasy Island," "The Love Boat," and "Frasier," his last credited appearance in 1997.
After an appearance on the TV show "Emergency!" in 1974, Sherman decided to change career paths and eventually leave entertainment to be a technical reserve police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to the Los Angeles Police Reserve Foundation's Facebook page, Sherman was also an EMT and, in 1999, was named LAPD Reserve Officer of the Year.
Sherman was previously married to Patti Carnel, with whom he shares two sons. He married Poublon in 2010.
Together, the couple began the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children's Foundation, which provides children in Ghana with education and meals.

American Eagle responds to critics over ad with Sydney Sweeney, saying it was always about the jeans
NEW YORK (AP) — Teen retailer American Eagle Outfitters has a message to its critics, who took issue over its denim ad campaign with 27-year-old actor Sydney Sweeney that sparked a debate over race and Western beauty standards. The campaign, the retailer said, was always about the jeans. In a statement posted on American Eagle's Instagram account on Friday, the retailer said the ad campaign 'is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' The message marked the first time the teen retailer responded to days of backlash since the ad with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' launched last week. In the run-up to the ad blitz, the company's chief marketing officer told trade media outlets that it included 'clever, even provocative language' and was 'definitely going to push buttons." It's unclear if the company knew how much controversy the ad could raise. Most of the negative reception focused on videos that used the word 'genes' instead of 'jeans' when discussing the blonde-haired, blue-eyed actor known for the HBO series 'Euphoria' and 'White Lotus.' Critics found the most troubling was a teaser video in which Sweeney says, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' Other commenters accused detractors of reading too much into the campaign's message. Some marketing experts said the buzz is always good even if it's not uniformly positive. 'If you try to follow all the rules, you'll make lots of people happy, but you'll fail,' Allen Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce said. 'The rocket won't take off.'

Alex Warren, One Of 2025's Breakout Acts, Scores His First No. 1
Alex Warren has spent a large chunk of 2025 dominating charts across several Western music markets. His breakout tune "Ordinary" propelled him to new heights, as the cut reached No. 1 in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The former YouTuber and musical talent quickly capitalized on that success by releasing his debut album You'll Be Alright, Kid earlier this month. The full-length is an expansion of Warren's earlier You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) EP. Now featuring "Ordinary" and several other popular singles, the collection is soaring on rankings everywhere. Alex Warren's First No. 1 Album The immediate success of the now-full-length earns Warren his first No. 1 album in the U.K., where it tops the Official Albums chart, which ranks the most-consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country. Just last week, when You'll Be Alright, Kid was still an EP, the title sat at No. 25, after previously peaking at No. 9. Sales and streams of all versions of You'll Be Alright, Kid, along with standout tracks like "On My Mind" with Rose and "Bloodline" with Jelly Roll, help send the project as high as it can go. You'll Be Alright, Kid Rises to No. 2 Warren's debut album also surges on several other rosters in the U.K., coming close to giving him a No. 1 on nearly every tally. You'll Be Alright, Kid hits a new peak of No. 2 on both the Official Albums Streaming and Official Albums Sales charts, while climbing to a new high of No. 3 on the Official Album Downloads list. You'll Be Alright, Kid Earns Alex Warren a Debut Top 10 The same release, which doubled in length to serve as Warren's debut full-length, also opens inside the top three on two additional tallies where he's never appeared before. You'll Be Alright, Kid starts at No. 2 on the Official Physical Albums chart and No. 3 on the Official Vinyl Albums ranking, earning Warren his first top 10 placement as he appears on the pair of lists for the very first time.
