New for 2022

[Robson]

MK has always loved long tours. It hasn't changed since the days of the Dire Straits

He now wants to do other things in his twilight years.
His memory started going on the last tour and his physical abilities have been in decline for many years.
Why would you want to see someone you love and admire become a parody of himself?
Lots of lovely memories with,hopefully,more lovely songs to come.
My favourite of his at the moment is Broken Bones!

Or "has to do other things" rather.

But I agree. It's much better to go out on top and in style.

The thing is, he would have to feel like playing live a small number of concerts. If doesn't feel like doing it, he won't do it.

There were hopes that after having back all the band on British Grove, sharing their friendship and having a good time, he might feel like being with them again playing some gigs, but apparently, he didn't, he had enough with recording with them, or maybe he's giving a thought to it but didn't say a thing yet, who knows. In fact, I hope he is doing that and he ends saying, ok, let's call the guys and play some gigs!

At the moment we don't know if he doesn't want to (e.g. lack of motivation) or can't (e.g. health reasons) tour. I just accept his decision and look forward to the new album.

Never say never, Paul Simon said he was retired but apparently he is is back in the studio right now, so anything is possible

Very true, never say never. But coming out of retirement to 'putter about' in the studio is a little easier than going on tour. I mean, British Grove is basically Mark's man cave

There is nothing else we can do, actually.

There's always mourning and weeping. But it doesn't help much.

That's what "There is nothing else we can do" means, thank you.

It's the new album I'm looking forward to, and concerning any live shows we'll have to wait and see what the future has in store for us.

[cannibals]

But you can something like clapton did in june hardly cal a new tour.
4 concerts in the UK and 10 in Europe. Still possible i think.
So perhaps what Guy is saying is that the long tours with 100 concerts are over……
