Next year will be a special year, because Mark will be turning 60, he is one of the younger classic rock guys around, with McCartney, Gilmour, Clapton, Waters, etc all over 60 already.
But usually when one of these big name artists get's to 60, there is a big celebration, and I am guessing there will be one for Mark, some live radio specials, DS history specials, maybe even a big TV/concert special, with lots of his musical friends.
So, with the fact I doubt there will be a new solo album next year, it could still be a big year for MK.
