The energies of the excited states in very neutron-rich $^{42}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}$ and $^{41,43}\mathrm{P}$ have been measured using in-beam $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy from the fragmentation of secondary beams of $^{42,44}\mathrm{S}$ at $39A\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. The low ${2}^{+}$ energy of $^{42}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}$, 770(19) keV, together with the level schemes of $^{41,43}\mathrm{P}$, provides evidence for the disappearance of the $Z=14$ and $N=28$ spherical shell closures, which is ascribed mainly to the action of proton-neutron tensor forces. New shell model calculations indicate that $^{42}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}$ is best described as a well-deformed oblate rotor.
