A bit sad... In the older days (= till the early 2000's) a Keith Richards interview would be quite entertaining and would generally include one or two "gems" : a valuable view of the current state of the world, or a deep philosophical comment about life in general.
Nowadays when Keef gives an interview he mainly speaks about his little self and the totally uninteresting facts of his little daily life. It's as if he had completely withdrawn from the world and was busy staring at his own navel.
A glass of wine for lunch? Whoa, stop the press!!!!
(2018 interview) : Keef quit smoking at 75? Whoa, unbelievable!!!!

Thanks, BB Johnny. The "stopped drinking" stuff was a scoop I think. Talked about worldwide. The other stuff has lost some relevance due to Jagger's illness.
Chances for another European leg I would say are very slim now.

Judging by recent interviews and pics of Keith, this tour might have been a disaster with Keith clearly drinking again, he just doesn't wear drink very well now. I think it's sad Keith just can't move on from the drink, he has a lot to live for, but the drink will catch up with him for sure.
I moved on from it, hell i miss it every day, but you got to show it who's boss or you let the demons in.
I commend your sobriety but can’t agree with the Keith prediction/observations. Sorry.

It's a complex subject and you gotta be one to understand, Keith can't just have a glass with a meal, it don't work that way, it escalates, it's not something you can give up for 6 months and be cured, ask Ronnie.
Anyway Keith has an amazing constitution or he wouldn't be with us, but an old body can only take so much, hope i'm wrong though and he can control it.
From what we can gather i don't think it makes Keith happy anymore, it catches up with you like that, it just stops working.
