RIP
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Collected classic cars but couldn't drive.  A good old British eccentric.  RIP

When a member of a legendary band pass away, I always think that all DS members are alive, and if they would, they could reunite for whatever, but that won't happen.
You might get lucky, now and then

I still genuinely think it could happen, given the cause would be big enough, but I can't remember any big charity shows recently, the biggest I remember was Live 8 and it was in 2005! It could happen there but Pink Floyd stole that opportunity :lol

Mark certainly doesn't want a full reunion, like a full show, let alone tour or record, but something like Live 8 and 3-4 songs could theoretically happen, there was just no good cause for it.

Some years ago the sons of lady Di organized a concert with some big names. That also would have been something if MK would have done that with DS.

Another obituary by MK. Quite strange one.

Do you really think MK could deliver Dire Straits stuff these days, even if he wanted to? I am really astonished that some of you STILL wait for a DS reunion.

The founders of dire straits already at the end of 79 were no longer close-knit as at the beginning, after another two years they remain in two, only to have friction even at the time of the recording of brothers in arms. A lot of years have passed, they no longer communicate with each other and what's more the old manager who knows what happened to him and we would like a reunion to do what? money?
seeing them today they are not in great physical shape and I would never see phil collins like scenes.

The funniest thing about DS reunion is probably deciding the lineup. What do you even consider a reunion, when only 2 members went through all of the band's history? That means basically reunion is anything Mark and John made together. So technically it happened already in 2002 and in form of foreword for a book and TV series about guitars. Now that's a reunion :lol

To be honest with you, I straight up hate obituaries written by Mark. So obvious, nothing interesting and something that absolutely anybody could write, like the complete opposite of the songs he writes. The world would lose nothing if all his obituaries won't be published that's my point.
