Here is an account of how and why Keith did the spoken part on Goin' Down Slow, from [Warren Haynes], who was present:

Sure it's speculation, but one can not forget that Jann Wenner is one of Mick's closest friends for years now. Wenner doesn't publish anything Mick doesn't want.

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.

So, we have some sort of confirmation that Richards' condition is a real issue. We have (possibly) Wyman back in the fold, which is delightful. We have new sessions, which may not be any good. We have a new documentary, which sounds great. Sadly, no word about Taylor. Maybe band politics blocked his return? All in all, glass at least half-full I would say.

About time we heard something, thanks andrewt!
As far as Keith's health is concerned, plenty he can do in a year to improve his arthritic condition! Naysayers be damned. The science of such has greatly improved in recent years. Mostly diet and magic supplements like Botswellia Serrata and crushed crayfish shells. I'll bet he's doing what he can in that regard, we can only hope for the best.
Plenty of time for folks to start saving their nickels too. I can finally now say that the rumors I heard were indeed from a certain promoter, now that the cat is out of the bag. Whoo Hoo! peace
Can you put Botswellia and crayfish shells in Shepherd's pie?

Would you like to see Rolling Stones without Keith Richards? Jeff Beck would be a horrible option that would ruin the sound completely with his ugly guitarsound. Can´t stand that distorted strat sound that Beck has. Keith can never be replaced, without him the band is dead.

Stuffed crawfish shells do...what? You don't eat the shells so...
