Famous Rock Star Jack Sonni Dead at 68

If you are a child of the 80s, this one will hit hard.

The 1970s and 1980s produced some of the greatest music we have ever heard.

One of the big bands of that time was Dire Straits.

Sadly, Jack Sonni, who was around for the “Brothers in Arms” era of the band, passed away.

The Red Suit

If you were a Dire Straits fan, you remember Sonni’s penchant for wearing red on stage.

He was an amazing guitarist, as you can see from his Live Aid set with Dire Straits and Sting…

Dire Straits hit their peak after “Brothers in Arms,” and, as always seems to happen, band members burned out and they had a breakup.

The band split in 1987, but did a massive remake and came back again in 1991.

Dire Straits put out one more studio album, then the band split again a few years later.

Even though Sonni was only with the band for a short while, he was one of the more memorable characters on stage.

The band posted a salute on its social media pages, and others that Sonni had played with over the years also posted tributes.

Sonni must have known this was coming because he also posted a note to fans on his blog that all but stated he thought he was going to die.

Rest in peace, sir.
