Not sure about anything, but IMHO Charlie's "YES" at the PC for stopping touring is not to be taken too seriously. Charlie speaks hardly in a microphone, and when he does, it sounds like primal scream.
In a 1994 or 1997 PC, I remember reading he just shouted a huge "NO" when questioned about Darryl. Period. His speaking are more ike art performance, always eccentric, even at the Stones level. In Paris Olympia, 2003, when harassed by the band to say something on stage, he cracked "I want to sing, but they don't let me".
Of course, this doesn't mean he is not tired, or that he does not want to retire. But taken too seriously, this unprepared "YES" would be a too rude coming out for his 43 year-or-so mates,
