Yes. Ed considered the 1996 tour as a childish diva move, and took Mark literally when he said that he didn't want to hear about DS for 10 years. Ed thought that 9 years was more than enough...well, he has been waiting for almost 30 years now, and no sign of a DS reunion !

For me, this is sensational news. Mark began his solo career in 1996 and officially announced it to the world.

I had another thought: these big tours may actually be handy as a great advertisment. As John said in the book, when the band is in town, there are posters everywhere, news, and such. A lot of people knew about DS because of that. So probably, without big tours, Mark and John may not be as comfortable as they right now. Would need to play in tribute bands like Trevor Horn, and not recording radio shows in your own studio drinking coffee and writing books. So hard work, in a way, paid off really.

The big tours were basically album promotions.

Before Internet ;D

However, MK still tours (or toured) like crazy with too many shows as if it's 1986 all over again.

I think his solo tours have been very "reasonable". They probably could have had more days off, but then suddenly the tour starts to drag on and feel a lot longer.

It sounds more like Eric Clapton than DS, I think. Nice track, and cool guitar playing. Robbie?

John has written and published a book, then written, recorded and released a new album, before Mark has even had a full band in the studio  :think  Guy wrote that the album has no timeline, so I should do as Mark sings, Let it all go... 
Johns new song is nice! Go John!  :clap :D

It just has to be Robbie doesn't it?!
