FB rumour about MK family - topic closed now
« on: October 15, 2018, 08:51:03 PM »
Hi all,
There are discussions on FB that MK's mum died last week. Also people saying it was years ago.
I can't remember that I have heard it in the past. Does anyone here know? Thanks

I was quite angry someone posted that without any proof.  She claimed "from a good source" but when asked wouldn't tell.  Without 100% proof I think it best not to speculate at all.  There's enough of that on the 'net as it is.

I can imagine the army of people who will shout "that's too personal to discuss". By the way, Isabella posted this just today on Instagram:



With all that said, many of genius artistic people had difficult relationships with their parents or they died too young or something. Another amazing thing about Mark is that both of his parents had a long and happy life (at least it seems even for a distant observer like me) and actually was able to see their son's amazing success. I find this very interesting.

Looking at her account now and am not seeing it?
Also, I thought she died some years ago?

Well I just did a screenshot, because I screenshot everything interesting. But as it turned out, the picture is still in her stories feed.

A picture from a public social network anyone has access to? :D

This is a little bit off-topic, but again this situation shows that it's so pity Mark has literally no interaction with fans whatsoever apart from music. So fans get "behind the scenes" pictures from Guy's instagram, interesting stories through David Knopfler's Facebook page, and now possibly the news about the passing of the main human being in every people's life from like... His daughter's Instagram page?

I mean, Mark can find time to write an obituary about some musician who passed away and with whom he never even played, but about his mom we have to guess and ask. I find this a little bit disturbing, but not too much. I just think out loud, don't get me wrong.

Mother death is something very personal. He does not have to announce to the world

I couldn't disagree more. How could you find it disturbing that we 'have to ask' about his mother's wellness? Honestly, I think it's very private, MK doesn't share much about his personal life so there is no reason to expect him to write (not a song) something about it.

About his daughter's social accounts, last week a photo was shared in the other thread and I understand it's publicly available, but for me it's way out of my comfort zone to follow some teenager in the hope I'll find a MK picture someday.

Nah, not so much about hoping to see an mk pic some time, more to get some insight in his normal daily life. I think it is still in the verge of what is ok. Also i do the same

Indeed.  And we should stop speculating.  The initial fb post claimed she passed the day before he appeared in Italy.  Considering his spirited mood I doubt that very much.

Yeah, the times they are a-changing... I follow like 300 people on Instagram and just because I'm curious, there's just a couple of MK-related pages really. Everybody's got some kind of social media nowadays, so as I said — the times they are changing. But I guess Mark wouldn't be Mark if presented in social media, so that's fair I guess. But you can't guarantee he wouldn't "pull the plug" on social media one day. Today there's nothing, but soon we'll be retweeting his awesome tweets and like his awesome Instagram posts. Who knows?

You can't "stop" it unfortunately, because things like that are unstoppable. As an old saying goes, "if you can't beat them, join them". This is the whole thing about social media, that's why stars have a mark of authenticity on their social media profiles. Because it stops any speculations.

I think that learning that MK's mother passed away is an information anyway and I don't see anything bad in being aware of it as long as it come from the family.

And I don't need to know much more details.

I think it's not a very important news. Stay in the public Knopfler's life please.
