At least for the medical bills I would expect Keith to have enough spare change by now to cover that!Quote

If Keith collapses on stage who pays his medical bills? And who pays all the money back to the audience and the wages of the staff etc etc.

OK, so imagine it is 1977 and Keith gets jailed in Canada for five years instead of playing charity gigs. If Jeff Beck had stepped in to tour with the Stones then would it be the Rolling Stones?
NO.
So why is 2012 or 2013 any different?
Without Kieth, Mick, and Charlie it ain't the Stones. Bill left on his own. Mick Taylor left on his own. Ronnie stepped in for MT.
Keith wants to play and tour. How, when, and where is up to him and the band but this talk of Jeff Beck joining them to openly back up Kieth is nonsense and an insult to Mick Taylor. He's the guy to stand on stage with them and fill in parts if that is what is needed and desired. He's a Stone.
God bless you Keith, I hope you are OK.

I have it on pretty good authority that Keith has a side project going on. Not sure if it's all the Winos, but at the very least Ivan N.

Why is there no sympathy here for Keith's health? There's something going on and everyone is worried if that means there will be no tour. Shouldn't his health be more important than whether or not your selfish asses will be in a seat at a Stones show? Has anyone here even said "get well Keith!"??? Also, the discussion of moving Keith aside and putting Jeff Beck in or someone else to replace him is a clear indication of the level of selfishness on here.

mini strokes don't always cause noticeable effects in a person. My mother used to get them. It was only after her major one that you saw anything different.
People were complaining about Keith in 2006 and 2007 - he didn't look healthy, being disturbed - how could he have a problem, the guy was just 62-64 years old, he had only had a bad fall and had had a brain surgery imposing him taken special medicin, he just had some finger arthritis, his wife just had some cancer etc.Quote

” The Wolf version has a recitation in the beginning and in the middle that was done by Willie Dixon, who wrote “Goin’ Down Slow.”.
There are many of us who love Keith and I'd be so happy to express my gratitude to him & my wishes for his good health. I guess I'm still in denial. It hasn't really sunk in yet. Do you think if they weren't touring again, that they would let us know? I haven't been a fan long enough to understand the nuances of the Rolling Stone article. What does it mean? Do they often say they'll tour again if they have no plans to do so...any guidance is welcomed.Quote

Very true indeed. And I'm disappointed and upset at the lack of caring for Keith's health here.
I was going to begin a thread which thanks and praises Keith, but I didn't do so for fear that MANY people here would simply use the thread to bash Keith, his playing, his health, his age, whatever.

Superrevvy, it is not he Stones who choose the doctor, but the insurance company.
True. But my comment still stands. Michael Jackson was in way worse shape than
Keith and still got certified by insurance company doctors for a grueling
50 date stand in London, as the indispensible star. If Taylor is on board and
Jeff Beck is on standby, Keith becomes somewhat dispensible and certainly
insurable, as long as he agrees that others can step in for him if necessary.
Insurance company doctors do NOT disqualify anybody from doing shows. They
just develop the justification for charging higher rates. Insurance companies
want the shows to happen as much as anybody, or else their insurance doesnt
get bought.
