Hi all,
There are discussions on FB that MK's mum died last week. Also people saying it was years ago.
I can't remember that I have heard it in the past. Does anyone here know? Thanks
-
I was quite angry someone posted that without any proof. She claimed "from a good source" but when asked wouldn't tell. Without 100% proof I think it best not to speculate at all. There's enough of that on the 'net as it is.

I can imagine the army of people who will shout "that's too personal to discuss". By the way, Isabella posted this just today on Instagram:

With all that said, many of genius artistic people had difficult relationships with their parents or they died too young or something. Another amazing thing about Mark is that both of his parents had a long and happy life (at least it seems even for a distant observer like me) and actually was able to see their son's amazing success. I find this very interesting.

Looking at her account now and am not seeing it?
Also, I thought she died some years ago?
Everyone's mum dies at some point, also our hero's

Well I just did a screenshot, because I screenshot everything interesting. But as it turned out, the picture is still in her stories feed.

Maybe a bit too much if were posting pictures from the stories feed of his daughter but who am I...

A picture from a public social network anyone has access to? :D

This is a little bit off-topic, but again this situation shows that it's so pity Mark has literally no interaction with fans whatsoever apart from music. So fans get "behind the scenes" pictures from Guy's instagram, interesting stories through David Knopfler's Facebook page, and now possibly the news about the passing of the main human being in every people's life from like... His daughter's Instagram page?
I mean, Mark can find time to write an obituary about some musician who passed away and with whom he never even played, but about his mom we have to guess and ask. I find this a little bit disturbing, but not too much. I just think out loud, don't get me wrong.
See a beautiful tribute by Tom Hanks: https://www.facebook.com/TomHanks/photos/a.130476361320/10154094379036321/?type=3&theater (https://www.facebook.com/TomHanks/photos/a.130476361320/10154094379036321/?type=3&theater)

Mother death is something very personal. He does not have to announce to the world

I couldn't disagree more. How could you find it disturbing that we 'have to ask' about his mother's wellness? Honestly, I think it's very private, MK doesn't share much about his personal life so there is no reason to expect him to write (not a song) something about it.
About his daughter's social accounts, last week a photo was shared in the other thread and I understand it's publicly available, but for me it's way out of my comfort zone to follow some teenager in the hope I'll find a MK picture someday.

Nah, not so much about hoping to see an mk pic some time, more to get some insight in his normal daily life. I think it is still in the verge of what is ok. Also i do the same

Indeed. And we should stop speculating. The initial fb post claimed she passed the day before he appeared in Italy. Considering his spirited mood I doubt that very much.

Yeah, the times they are a-changing... I follow like 300 people on Instagram and just because I'm curious, there's just a couple of MK-related pages really. Everybody's got some kind of social media nowadays, so as I said — the times they are changing. But I guess Mark wouldn't be Mark if presented in social media, so that's fair I guess. But you can't guarantee he wouldn't "pull the plug" on social media one day. Today there's nothing, but soon we'll be retweeting his awesome tweets and like his awesome Instagram posts. Who knows?

You can't "stop" it unfortunately, because things like that are unstoppable. As an old saying goes, "if you can't beat them, join them". This is the whole thing about social media, that's why stars have a mark of authenticity on their social media profiles. Because it stops any speculations.
-
I think that learning that MK's mother passed away is an information anyway and I don't see anything bad in being aware of it as long as it come from the family.
And I don't need to know much more details.
-
But still no answer :'(
I think it's not a very important news. Stay in the public Knopfler's life please.

One of the very few cases where I must disagree Shangri-la....he is a person of public interest , and that includes his closer family, imho. To a certain extent that is. And that extent is not being crossed on here

If indeed Mrs Knopfler snr. did pass away recently I'm surprised that the Official MK site didn't post an obituary as a tribute to her in some form or other? Even though Mark has maintained a "very private" persona throughout his entire career, we all have only one Mum, and it would have been a caring way, for fans to show their love and offer their heartfelt condolences at our hero's personal loss.

But on the other hand, the public knows exact date AND the place of his wedding, it's even on MK's Wikipedia page, which for me personally is completely useless information, so I don't know what privacy we're talking here. As you said, MK is of public interest to a certain extent, but as we all know about MK's signature "doesn't careness" you can't expect much indeed.

Was any news shared when his father passed away? Was that during the OES tour?

No info on this on David Knopfler's FB account. He is posting his usual political stuff today; I don't think he would have if his mother had passed away just now.

With regards to MK's daughter...
She seems to be cultivating some sort of showbiz career... her boyfriend is an actor, she recently worked with Natalie Portman at some showbiz event at the RAH etc etc
Part of cultivating a showbiz career these days is social media, so if she posts something, she wants people to see it, otherwise she would just have a private account for her friends.
She posted a pic of her arse in a bikini yesterday for Christ's sake...

I think I have explained this 100 times.
In 1995 a person from MK management told me that since MK's father had died and his favourite song (of his father) was Tunnel, MK was not going to play it again. I initially had obviously no idea if this was true, again it was 1995.
After so many tours and no tunnel ever again I guess this was 100% true.
-
I know Tunnel of Love was favorite song father MK, but the fact that he has not performed this song since 1993 may be a completely different reason.
-

So that guy lied for no reason in 1995 and the revelation happened to be true in the following 20 years by pure coincidence ? very doubtful
-
Also a weird coincidence if his mum died years ago then his daughter posted that pic?

My guess is that it happened on 15th of October, but maybe a year ago and this was just a little anniversary tribute.

I think that pictures Isabella posts is like kindergarten level stuff compared to the things that you can see in Instagram feed of other girls of that age. A couple of bikini pictures is completely okay, especially being not vulgar at all. The times are changing, again and again :D
-

She was still alive a couple of years ago when I attended a David Knopfler concert, because he talked about calling to see her and having a cup of tea together! He made the audience laugh about her repeating herself! :)

So my take is October 2017 then... Man, MK have some curious anomalies with his relatives. Do you know that you just can't find the birthdate of his wife? Wikipedia just says the year and that's it. I think Wikipedia knows the birthdate of much, much less famous people, but why with her?
But you know what's really funny? Is that Issy again has spoiled her mum's birthday on her Instagram page and it became known.
Each year many and many questions arise so Mark can base his autobiography just on that. Brother situation? Birthdate situation? Mother situation? The Hall Of Fame situation? The Dentist situation? The Sausages situation? Man, Mark is the real International Man of Mystery! :lol

I've heard it, and I even visited a fundraising page link from Guy's forum. BUT.
But I still can't understand what happened and why and for what $20k are being raised.
You can open a new thread about it and maybe it will make it clear, because I have no clue what it's all about.

Yes. I was going to post that but forgot. Jack wrote a very nice tribute in FB. It is indeed very sad news, especially considering her age. We will all recall Mark's words during the Mandela concert regarding Jack's "two little babies."
I have not heard of any fundraising.

I don't know what happened but for those not on fb here is Jack's message:
Dear Friends,
The outpouring of heartfelt expressions of love and support for me and my family at losing our beautiful Nadine has been overwhelming and humbling. It has also been a great comfort to us all at seeing how loved she was by so many. The generous donations from around the world are greatly appreciated and will help tremendously with the burden we have found ourselves suddenly facing.
We are so grateful for the countless messages we’ve received here, in emails and texts. For the vast number of friends whose voices have comforted us and shared our grief. Please know we’ve read them all and may not have had a chance to respond but all are so greatly appreciated.
Nadine was a warm bright light, loving and kind to a fault and incapable of seeing anything but the good in others. She was a wonderful mother who loved her son, Merrick, with every last bit of her huge heart. He was the center of her world.
Life is fragile and precious and there are no guarantees because Tomorrow Never Knows. It cares not for our plans or dreams and all we truly have is this moment.
So please, my dear friends, hold your loved ones near and hug them while you can. It is all too possible they may walk out the door and never return.
In Gratitude,
Jack
Caiti, Silas, Hendrix and Merrick
:'(

The fundraising about Jack's daughter is to cover the expenses needed to bury her.
Indeed very sad, she was very young and had a 4 years kid...
Mk and Jack were best friends during early 80's and Guy's wife is Jack's cousin.

Nice catch! Interesting why he wouldn't make an anonymous donation, because there's an option. I see a lot of good people there and a lot of generous donations and a lot of care, makes me love the world a little bit more. Pity I can't afford a donation more than 10$ though.

No because it was posted before the pic went up. Issy K posted it to her Insta story which lasts 12 hours then comes off. The OP was posted to Facebook on Sat am.

I saw the sad news about Jack's daughter Nadine yesterday, but I came over here and no one had mentioned it yet, so I didn't bring it up for the sake of his privacy. But now that it's been mentioned, I can't even begin to imagine the pain he's going through. No parent should ever have to bury their own child. My heart breaks for him

Could we split this topic in two dedicated ones?
-

yes, in proportion 500 from Guy is much more than 1000 from Mark I guess,
still I think both are fine, it seems the original target was only $5K but it was raised because of many donations,
so the funding is going pretty well
171 donations so far, if you leave out the ones who directly know the family,
I guess 'not so many fans' considering its a worldwide thing,
I am proud to be in the list of the ones who sent something

I must say that Jack has a lot of friends (and friends of friends), because it's not so easy to raise more than 20,000 dollars, let alone to get a donation from people like Mark, John and others. I hope this campaign will be fulfilled in a matter of days! Strange that it got stuck on just 20K.

100% agree
it's a little bit my fault that this subjet came here
When I brought this info here, I hesitated a lot, but it was more because I didn't know if all forumers were aware of this, regarding the discussion about Mark's mom

People say this topic is private, yet it's a crowdfunding project with big names donating big money even without trying to hide their names.
As long as there's no Sonny's or Mark's representative telling us not to discuss this, I don't think it's morally incorrect. And jokes are jokes...

I am unhappy with this thread because the title of the thread is pretty poorly worded so to say. The original question about Mark's Mum being dead or not is somewhat impious. The story of Jack's daughter is coincidentally as sad and of course if someone decides to do a crowdfunding he agrees in giving up great parts of privacy. And while Mark is a person of public interest, I am not so sure if his Mum also is. This is in our rules, by the way.
Ingrid, when did YOUR Mum die, if she did? How does that feel?

And thanks also for stating your opinion on the 50+show-statement about Germany last week.

I guess some people are just more sensitive than others. That's okay... Me personally, I don't care, anyone can talk about whatever he wants.
And 50+ German shows wasn't just a joke, if remember correctly there was times with more than 12 shows in Germany and it's really more like a little tour, they even did their own merchandise for this "leg" of it. Not to offend anybody, just the fact that Europe has this amazing number of countries and here's one with more than 10 shows for some reason. By the way, for 2019 it's pretty much fair this time with maybe an abundance of "leisure-friendly" countries, let's say (9 Germany, 7 France, 7 Italy, 6 Spain shows). Not to offend anybody, again.

Death is something that belongs to life. It is not disrespectful to talk about it.
It's always sad to lose a beloved one.
But the question I asked originally is exactly that:
On Facebook the discussion was going about it. Did she die or not. And if so, when, because most people didn't hear about it on FB.
And easy as that, I thought AMIT-ers know most of the things much better, I just ask.
And no LE I don't mind you asking it. My mum is alive and pretty healthy. So I am lucky to still have her around.
But when she passes away, there's no reason not to talk about it. She will be remembered with lots of love

Ingrid, I know that you know me and I was sure that you wouldn't get it wrong. Greetings! The question to you was just meant as an example. All the best

I am unhappy with this thread because the title of the thread is pretty poorly worded so to say. The original question about Mark's Mum being dead or not is somewhat impious. The story of Jack's daughter is coincidentally as sad and of course if someone decides to do a crowdfunding he agrees in giving up great parts of privacy. And while Mark is a person of public interest, I am not so sure if his Mum also is. This is in our rules, by the way.
Ingrid, when did YOUR Mum die, if she did? How does that feel?

Thank you LE for saying so.
I am more than uneasy with this thread as well. It for sure crosses the line.
And thanks also for stating your opinion on the 50+show-statement about Germany last week.
I guess some people are just more sensitive than others. That's okay... Me personally, I don't care, anyone can talk about whatever he wants.
