New for 2022

[quizzaciously]

At this moment, after this response from Guy, I believe that the next album could be one of the last, if not perhaps the last of Mark.  Even though Mark says he likes to write and record songs I'm not so sure he can record them, maybe they might just stay as lyrics.  And I am very sorry about that.

But why?

Mark certainly has no pressure with the new album, huh? Everybody's waiting for his retirement, possible tour, the release of a biographical film, small tour or shows, the last album maybe. Who knows? Any album can be the last, this may be my last message here for all I know. Life is too unpredictable.

My only hope is that all this pressure will not result in a huge disappointment. And I hope that long waiting means that they understand that, too.

I’m a slow learner
I do everything slow
It’s my way, has to be true


Maybe this song is more important today than it was 4 years ago. Everything changes. It is possible that Mark changes the pace when there are no world tours.

My guess would be april may 2023

Their focus is now on the Local Hero musical and probably an cast album release and next year a new album. That’s why they now release next month the easy money album boxset part 2

Seems even less likely there will be more tours if this is what it’s like out there.

Still possible a tour by the UK, playing the big venues three or four nights to accommodate all fans coming from other countries.

In 2023 Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel will tour together. A concert in a different city every month. I thought about MK. I like this idea.

Mark Knopfler concert goer are boomer and post boomer like us - we are the big number that would allow him to tour if he wanted to.

[Robson]

I'm a boomer. I like this

According to Mark-Knopfler-News:

Mark has written a number of new songs he wants to work on in the studio. As a result, the release of his next solo album has been re-schedule to later in 2023.

[Dutchessy]

So it will take forever and ever   

[Jules]

This announcement made me think about the GH and stp recording sessions. Every now and then they were releasing pieces of news with the same reason for the delay.

[Dutchessy]

Or release a double album:

CD1: Before Local Hero
CD2: After Local Hero

According to Mark-Knopfler-News:

Mark has written a number of new songs he wants to work on in the studio. As a result, the release of his next solo album has been re-schedule to later in 2023.

A strange message. Maybe he wrote a few more new songs. We don't know how much he has had so far. In 2023, a new album. We knew about it.
