GFs answer about touring, "I doubt it", made me sad. Of course I knew it, but my heart  doesn't want it to be over. To attend at least one concert on each tour have been highlights in my life. I have been so lucky to meet MK and GF more than once, and know I can't possibly ask for more, but I will miss it  :-\ The chances to meet them will be low at RAH I think.
It is a great comfort to know it at least will be another album  :)

Makes you wonder what Guy’s focus will be in a few years time. Or will he take early retirement?
That's exactly what I would do if I were him. He's in his 60's, was a part of one of the biggest bands in the world, probably has enough money to live-by until his death. What else? Just sit in your backyard and enjoy the sun (well, not if you're in England), good wine and good food.

Or keep recording and producing music. One needs something to do on daily basis, specially if it's something you like

By the way, MK said he's done with touring, not with recording.
You might get lucky, now and then

Something to do on a daily basis? Eat good food and drink good wine. Seems perfectly doable on a daily basis to me.

I'm sure Mark will give him a 10% discount on the use of BG studio to record his albums.  ;)

I'm quite sure this time has been on Guy's mind for some years now.  He'll do the odd thing here and there.

He said he’s turned down offers of touring with bands before but refused to say who.
His credentials are about as good as it gets for a player who the man in street hasn’t heard of but whose keys parts they will have heard.

He has a big and great career touring (Roxy Music, Dire Straits, Bryan Ferry and Mark Knopfler) and a great list of recording credits, not only with DS, MK, Roxy Music or Bryan Ferry, but many more, even Mick Jagger and Tina Turner.

So, he would be fine.

I have wondered for a long time if David Gilmour considered asking Guy to fill in, not replace!! Richard Wright for his tours or recording, David has recorded with Danny so he is familiar with Mark's musicians.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

My best guess is Guy will be joining the BG team as a regular.

MK said that he will keep writing and recording songs, so Guy will be with him.

The only thing MK has retired is from touring.

Are you sure about "is"? I think if he is, he'll release a statement. As Paul Simon did, though he still perform one-off shows from time to time, so not exactly retire from the stage. I think and hope MK will do the same.

He said it a lot of times during the last tour, also told that before the tour, during the DTRW promo interviews. The fact that they anounced he is recording and will release a new record later this year and there is no plans for any tour, says it all.

If I remember well 2019, Mark never said that he won't perform on stage anymore, and during the UK part I had the feeling that the door was still open contrary to his farewell speech to Barcelona.

But time is flying and we are in 2022 now.

That would mean moving to London. I think the lure of the Sussex sea would be too strong for Guy. Of anyone wants to write a song called “the lure of the Sussex sea” then please do….I don’t need a credit
