I doubt the RS will just bow out silently. They will do some kind of farewell gig(s) and bring out Ron Wood for a song or two. (The Faces brought out Ronnie Lane in a wheelchair for a final good-bye.)
A re-unite with MT is out of the question from the RS point of view. He is the past. MT hasn't played in years and I would question whether he is in good enough shape to do so. He also burned his bridges with the RS after the last stint.
Their eminent mortality makes all of ours more real. At least for their earlier fans.

Ronnie can’t play any longer? Must’ve missed that story. Who is his replacement?

Well it is a business and the show must go on.

Nothing wrong with his playing. He had cancer, not a lobotomy.

Sorry, I must have missed how MT “burned his bridges with the his last stint”, so I can’t really comment. However, I guess there was a bit of drama from MT or his management regarding the use of his likeness (images). Anyway, my assumption was MT would be first on the list to step in for Ronnie if Ronnie could not tour for a health reason. Certainly the Stones
management would have made some sort of contingency plans to insure the
tour would continue.

I was responding to the statement that the Stones look at Mick Taylor as the past.Taylor playing AllDown the Line,BrownSugar, Honky Tonk Women ,etc., live in2021, is no more the past than the rest of them playing itQuote

Taylor is perfectly capable of playing, but I don't know - and you don't know.

If we tell him half a year in advance?

PS: I saw Nico posted a picture of Ronnie supposedly recording with Faces again, so I guess he's getting ready.

Mick Taylor is part of the history of the Stones, certainly an important story, but we fans should in my opinion be a little more realistic.
Taylor and Bill were invited as GUESTS to celebrate the Stones' anniversary on that 2013 tour.
There is a big difference between being in a band and just being a guest.
I have a high esteem for Taylor as well as for Bill, however it was immediately clear to how the Stones themselves behaved on that occasion, that there was no chance for them to join the band permanently.

No one expects them to return permanently, but is there really anything that prevents them from contributing to a track or two? How hard is that? And it would be most gratifying for the hard core fans. The last studio track with Wyman and the Stones was Watching the River Flow. It didn't have a cohesive sound because all five just phone their parts in.

at .32 seconds Keith says postive stuff about MT him getting into bass, piano and drums before he left - kind of surprised considering what was said in various books and guitar mags about Keith erasing MT's bass parts etc and playing to loud.

As far as I know Mick Taylor himself never talked in an interview or otherwise (in public) about his recent relationship or musical experience during his last tour with the Rolling Stones. From 2014 and onwards.

That would be stupid of Taylor. I'm sure he was financially compensated enough to live in relative obscurity, comfortably, since he was used to getting by on little. Former Hendrix bassist Billy Cox gets paid by Janie Hendrix. He never says a bad word about her. What would he possibly gain? No one else is paying him.
Taylor did not sound like the Taylor from the early 70s when he was a Rolling Stone. I don't think he would much of a draw now. He's obviously got some health issues.
In my opinion it is more likely to happen with other musicians, as has already happened with Clapton for example.Quote

Listen to Can’t You Hear Me Knocking from Glastonbury,and Midnight Rambler from Roskide.He sounded great on those.He wasn’t given much of a chance to warm up on the gigs.And please don’t tell me any of the Stones,particularly Keith, played or sounded better than they did from 1969 to 1994.They didn’t
