I had this excellent Shadows website bookmarked
http://www.hank-marvin.dk/
and although I can't speak Danish, the homepage seems to show that the owner of the website, Niels Henriksen died suddenly last year.
I'm not sure if Niels was a member here but I'm sure he would have been known to Shadows fans in Denmark and other countries and this is very sad news.
