Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler releases a new album, 'One Deep River', on April 12. The 74-year-old guitarist and composer has sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

He was previously a journalist for the Yorkshire Evening Post, before launching a solo career. He says he is determined to continue composing and producing albums in a world that no longer has anything to do with the one that brought him fame and success. 'I could say: 'I'm not giving interviews anymore' Tell me then what would happen,’ he says.
