Alan Clark has just announced these very sad news on FB.
Meanwhile Jack's family has asked to removed all posts about Jack on social media...

Can't believe it... 😭 RIP Jack...

Was friends with him on Facebook.  Actually had a chat with him once and asked about the famous Live Aid coat and sunglasses.  He said he still had the coat but the sunglasses were long gone.  Always came across as a decent man with a good sense of humour.  Very sad news indeed.  RIP Jack.

Always love the way JS called MK a 'fu@!ing animal' on the Two Young lovers riff when MK had broken a nail and was insistent on biting it off!! Aus 1986

Sad to hear. He'd be 69 this year. A memorable touring member at the peak of DS.

It was a shame nothing happened with Jack's DS book. He was a great writer. Would have loved to read his memoirs.

It is with great regret that I learned through Alan Clark's social network that Jack Sonni left for the heavenly abode of the rock gods.

 I still can't believe it, Jack Sonni was a milestone in Dire Straits shows when they were at the height of their trajectory, their dances on stage, the joy of living a dream was something he brought with him, just watch any performance of him in Dire Straits, it was contagious.

I had the opportunity to meet him in person when he came to Brazil with Dire Straits Legacy, he was exactly what I expected, that high-spirited energy that he had and that we see in his performances with the DS was something remarkable for those who lived with him with him, I have no doubt. I will forever cherish the opportunity to watch him live and to be able to talk a little with one of my music heroes, a true gentleman, very kind, always with a smile on your face, he had the genuine spirit of Rock and Roll, it gave Dire Straits gave exactly what was asked for at that historic moment, nothing was by chance, it's a pity that the dream ended, but it is eternal in our memories.

RIP Jack Sonni, thank you for everything, you will be immortal for all Dire Straits fans. :'(

I saw Caiti Sonni's post asking to remove all posts on social media, but at the same time Joop de Korte and Alan Clark posted the info

As a DS fan, I would like to share this very sad news on my blog, but I don't want to hurt anyone...


RIP Jack
