In preparation for the release of Mark's new album, Privateering, his North American dates with the legendary Bob Dylan this fall and the European tour in 2013, a brand new MarkKnopfler.com will be launching shortly.

The new site will launch with a fresh design and some new features but it won't include the MarkKnopfler.com Forums, which will be closed.

Following the conviction of the members of Pussy Riot in Russia, Mark has issued the following statement:

Whenever a political regime or religious establishment refuses to tolerate criticism it advertises itself as repressive, backward and insecure.  This verdict will diminish Russia in the eyes of the world.  I condemn the prison sentences given to these young people and support the right to protest for everyone.
