Subject: Mark Knopfler's motorcycle wreck From: Wesley S Date: 20 Mar 03 - 01:33 PM CNN's website is reporting that Mark Knopfler was injured in a wreck on his motorcycle. The driver of the car is OK of course, but Mark has a broken collarbone and six broken ribs. He's out of the hospital and in stable condition. It also says he was supposed to start a tour of England in April - but that sounds doubtful to me. |

Subject: RE: Mark Knopfler's motorcycle wreck From: open mike Date: 20 Mar 03 - 08:00 PM from mark's web site.. MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT: OFFICIAL STATEMENT 20/03/2003 At around lunch time on Monday 17th March, Mark Knopfler was involved in a collision in Belgravia, London whilst on his way to start rehearsals for his upcoming tour. He has six broken ribs and a broken collarbone, after being knocked from his motorbike by a car, and is now recuperating. Unfortunately this means he will not be able to perform at the Albert Hall on the 25th of March in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust with Eric Clapton. However, the show will still be going ahead with Eric Clapton and Nigel Kennedy and Friends performing "The Jam Sessions". Our main concern, as always, is for Mark's well-being and speculation about the TRD tour is premature and unhelpful. Please give us time to assess the situation. A further update will be issued shortly. Any get well cards should be sent to care of Mercury Records, 136 - 144 New Kings Road, London, SW6 4FX. |
