There will be plenty of shows in 2014, no need to fret.

But, will they build those shows around new music?
DW, (I am pretty sure it's you) can you foresee a new album? Are you going to produce it? Do you think they still have it to record new music?

Since I'm curious - what exactly brings you to this assumption?

Do you have any idea what it's like to be on "stage" under the "spotlight" from the time you were a young man? At some point you grow old, the lights dim, but that feeling just won't go away. Why do you think the Stones keep going?

Yes, I do. On an infinitely smaller scale. But even so, the feeling is very strong. Once you have rocked, you can't stop.

I am not a musician but I was thrust into the spotlight at an early age by my father who had dreams of me being a major college level quarterback. I had the talent, but it was his dream, not mine.

So that's your purpose here? To "win one more for theGipperMicker"?

By gawd, stone hearted, I think you have nailed it! Brilliant!

They dont 'keep going'. They're inactive for years at a time, eventually get a bit bored doing other stuff or nothing at all (depending on which band member you're talking about) then decide it's time to keep up the pretence that they're an active, evolving band by doing a couple of dozen shows - enough to satisfy the 'hunger' of being the Biggest Grossing Act of the year. Then the machine goes into hibernation again. Rinse and repeat.
Bob Dylan 'keeps going'. So does Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Prince and others who have a different work ethic towards their craft. The Stones cease to exist as a working band for long periods and even in that downtime the individual members are for the most part musically inactive. They're effectively semi-retired since about 2007. But even retired or semi-retired people get bored doing nothing every so often, and that's especially the case if you're a musician conditioned to years of performing or being on the road. So, naturally they'll work together sporadically - and it's a very nice incentive to get paid very well for doing so. They've shown no inclination that they'd do it if they weren't.
