February? My God.

I guess the mystery charity project will be released earlier than February tho, and also John's book on its way, so it's okay

Yes, but I quietly believed that the new album will be released before summer 2022.

Everything seems to be delayed with his albums.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a 2023 release. 

From the recent interview we learned that since the Covid breakout Alan Clark has managed a few shows and a release.  EC has a release and EJ tops the charts with his lockdown album.  Mark is still months from his first recording session yet.

And at 72 years old he is most probably living his life with his family. I don't blame him one bit not going into the studio especially as we STILL have a pandemic....

I am surprised people still believe anything reported by Guy Fletcher

I don't mind, because I'm sure it will be well worth waiting for.  As for those lockdown releases by EC, EJ, AC et al, they are all a snoozefest and rehashes of old songs!  MK's album will be new material.

EC & EJ especially, cause lots of snoozefests with any of their material!

Why??

I kind of get it. It’s a great resource for looking up old questions but I think Guy has lost interest now.

Eric and Elton have both released album with almost the same name which is weird, and The Lockdown Sessions is hardly original, most of the songs on Eric's are covers, and rehashes, so not much thinking needed there, Elton has lots of co-written songs with multiple people too, Mark's might take longer, but they will all be original songs, and all written by him, I know what I prefer.

I take all your points and fully agree, however the fact is they have still gone the full cycle and the albums are released.  Mark is months away from the first recording session, meaning the release is still some way off.

No, they didn't do the full cycle - only a part of it, because there is no new material.  How would it feel if MK did the same thing and just re-worked old songs?  It would be justified to call him lazy. 

PS:  This isn't a race!

Exactly Val, I would prefer to wait for Mark to release all new songs for his next album, plus the delays with the band sessions are for some reason we don't know about, and really they are nothing to do with us.
