A new book about MK

[Love Expresso]

My guess is that it is already worked out and that Paul Sexton will release an biography of MK... either at Marks 80th birthday or some time in the (hopefully far) future when MK passes away.

Like a Dutch singer always said when the press was asking him if he was going to release a biography: “If you listen proberly to my songs and albums there is no need to write a biography everything is in there”
I think that could also be an answer of Mark Knopfler

I think you can expect a solo album with just him and his guitar rather than a biographical book about him.
Mark was and still is a very private person. Privacy is sacred to him, so I don't think he's interested in writing a biography in which he opens up his life to the world.
And if he does, then we'll probably only hear the old stories e.g. "blue up the family radio, if you drop this I'll drop you" etc. and not much new. But who knows?
What I could really imagine is that he will present us more songs of autobiographical content. Songwriting is his thing, but spreading out his life in a book not really.

During the ODR promo he was much more and unusually open about many details in his personal life. Also songs like Watch Me Gone or Pale Imitation show some new kind of retrospective which obviously is part of his mindset these days. So it's not impossible I guess.

Henny Vrienten was the leadsinger of the Dutch groep Doe Maar one the most famous bands in the early 80's and reformed back in 2000 . He  also made several great solo records and film music. Sadly he past away a couple of years ago.
Boudewijn de Groot is a singer who started in the 60's as protest singer and worked a lot with writer Lennaert Nijgh. He quit performing a couple of years ago but he still made records.
Henny and Boudewijn also made with George Kooijmans from the Golden Earring 3 albums together under the name "Vreemde Kostgangers".
