This issue has created substantial setbacks, making it impossible to proceed with the tour as planned. Knopfler has expressed his sincere regret and disappointment, stating, “It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the cancellation of the tour. The problems with the guitars have been more challenging and time-consuming than we expected. I appreciate my fans’ patience and support and look forward to performing again when we resolve these issues.”
Fans who have already purchased tickets will receive full refunds. Knopfler’s team is actively working to reschedule the tour once the dispute is settled. The music community eagerly anticipates his return to the stage, hopeful that he will resume his performances with the same exceptional talent that has defined his illustrious career.
