Answer from Guy today on a question regarding the RRHOF and the possibility of them playing with other artist:
They wanted Mark (and a reunion) and when it finally became clear he wasn't going to be there they kind of left us to our own devices, which was awkward for us. Still, rather like doing a pub gig in the old days where no-one turns up, we got on with it and did what we could. The folks who run the actual Hall Of Fame itself (as opposed to the event) were and have always been extremely warm, welcoming and kind and we've been in touch subsequently. As is often the case with these things, there is more to it than can be said here. I'm very glad we went though as I believe the fans support should be recognised.

Thanks everyone, interesting to read. Can’t help but feel frustrated with the lack of information about why MK didn’t turn up and who was going to induct them.

Apparently Neil Young and the dude from the Killers.

Makes me wonder if they choose not to induct because of MK not being there or as Guy was saying because they were probably not aware of other members of DS were indeed going. So like if they would have known that John Alan and Guy would attend Neil indeed would have done the induction. I'm not buying that.......

Yes all very interesting. I thought Brandon Flowers would be an obvious choice for the kids. I don’t know of any association between Neil Young and Mk though. Where did that come from?

There was an article from a newspaper with the names that said no to introduce DS without MK, Neil Young was one, the other I can't remember.

Brandon Flowers or however is its name was there introducing another band or artist

Exactly, precise as always, jbaent. I remember the article now, Neil Young and Keith Urban were the names mentioned in it.

From Guy's diary page...

"Next morning I was back in the studio with Mark."

I find this comment, well....sad and a bit weird.
