His death was announced on the band’s Instagram page and by his daughter.
Sohns and a friend still ran the band’s social media pages in the last few years, although he no longer performed. ‘Devastated. Rest in Peace my dear friend,’ it read in the caption. The Shadows of Knight continued to have band members come and go, and by mid-1967, Sohns was the only remaining original member. The band would record three studios albums by 1969, but were never able to recapture major attention.
