“My father passed away suddenly earlier this year,” Johnson wrote captioned the photo from the shoot Thursday. “I never got a chance to say goodbye to my old man, which sucks – but like he always said, ‘Hey, the show has to go on’ and so on.
He added, “Hope you are proud of this Soulman … who ever would have thought eh !? 🥃 I wanted you to see that ‘first look’ at my pops. No filters, no polish and nothing. “amazing. Just the Soulman doing what he did best! I can’t wait for you to watch our new show. I think you’re going to like this.”
