I'm more surprised Guy is going there to be honest.
It could mean a couple of things.
1 he will officially represent MK
2 MK REALLY doesn't give a **** about it and Guy can do whatever he wants
3 there's not so much bad blood as people want to believe

I pick all of three!

My option is that as long as there is not any sponsor nor billionaire paying the usual loads of money to go, he's not doing the travel, doesn't matters if the HOF inducts DS or him as a solo artist.

My hats of to Illsley, Clark and Fletcher to show their respect to the band fans going.

I don't think money is the only reason why he won't attend the ceremony.   It won't cost him a fortune to go there.  I can go there if I think it's worth a visit, and I guess you, too.  And apparently he has much more money than you and me.

And I still doubt he will attend the ceremony if RRHOF covers all his flight tickes and acommodation there.

And remember, he is the man who does not like being in the spotlight, as well.

I think the main reason is still the relation between him and some other ex-member(s).

It's obvious that it is more likely he will be there if he still keeps good relations with all other ex-members.  In that case, there would have been no song of "Terminal of Tribute to".

The confusion surrounding Dire Straits' induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next week was cleared up somewhat when we spoke to bassist John Illsley this (Thursday) afternoon.

He says that the three alumni of the band who have said they would attend -- him and keyboardists Guy Fletcher and Alan Clark -- will not perform without frontman Mark Knopfler, who, for reasons that we have been told are "personal and complicated," will not be there. Neither will his brother David or drummer Pick Withers, who are also being inducted.

"personal and complicated" ... who would have thought 

[Robson]

"personal and complicated"

I respect this.

[allen]

"personal and complicated"

I respect this.

At least, that means it's not only money that matters.

Personal and complicated

Stubborn as a mule, we say in Spain.

[Eddie Fox]

I don't think money was a problem, showing up and performing would be more like an investment actually. It's either Mark being extremely stubborn or the problem with Alan and David is bigger than we assume it is. Or maybe he simply doesn't give a damn. In any case he's got every right to avoid the ceremony, I just think he should've put out an official statement as soon as he knew he wouldn't be attending it so that his fans would know whether to bother or not.

[jbaent]

He doesn't give a damm.

He's stubborn as a mule with David and Alan so he doesn't give a damm about even think about it.

Take it easy guys.... weathers great where I live, I’m having a beer and listening to Tracker whilst the sun is burning. Too nice to stir things up. Cheers!

[Eddie Fox]

There’s always a grey area where you can operate. No need to play Sultans. But again, as much as I wanted to see DS reunite I don’t blame Mark for not showing up. To me the real problem is ignoring the fans, not saying anything. People bought tickets, booked hotels... all could’ve been avoided if Mark had come out of the cocoon and said something.
