I'm sure they'll want to finish with a show or 2 in London, where it all began.
If every serious fan on the planet goes to London for these farewell gigs two won't be enough. 10 maybe?

And what if it were were ten? The one selling out in minutes would be the last of those. Which would establish that many fans are harbouring a creepy fetish in my opinion.

I'm also not really sure about what I wrote. But I went to London in 2013 for the reasons you named, expecting something similar to Glastonbury a few weeks earlier. And then it was nothing like that. In FOS area the atmosphere was tense, everyone seemed keen not to give an inch for hours. With expectations up, the show was bound to underwhelm. I had set myself on spending a week in London and seeing both shows, but after the show I absolutely didn't feel like repeating the experience. I was happy that the folks I travelled with were able to take me right back home. If anything, I had faith that this couldn't be the end and that they would come to mainland europe in the following year. Which they did and it was glorious. So I for one won't go to London for such a thing again.

No problem adding London at the end of any tour, they some times ended tours in UK during the past, especially European tours. Just take a look at the summer 2013 tour. US - Glastonbury - London. I am not saying it will happen, but during tour planning it is for sure an option. The show would sell out in an hour.
If they want to have their very final concert in London - then 2-3 shows in London in 2020 make sense. Not sure they will have the energy in 2021. Charlie will be 80.

40 Licks was in 2002, 50 and counting in 2012. So 60 should be in 2022, right
For sure. I should have added "health permitting", although that goes without saying at this point.Quote

3 years is a long time at their age though. Anything can happen.
I am so thankful they have been able to tour this long, I saw them for the first time in 2018 and was lucky enough to see them again twice this year.
I hope the 2020 shows are fantastic, for all those planning to go!

I'm sure Charlie is somewhat ambivalent about making it to 60 years, but I bet Mick, Keith, and Ronnie would like to hit that date if everyone's health holds.

No, they don't. Their 50th anniversary was in 2012.

I remember Keith said something involving conception and birth and the months in between

Rumoured cities are Tokyo Osaka Bangkok Singapore Shanghai Macao Seoul Manila Jakarta Auckland Brisbane Sydney Melbourne Perth Cape Town. 3-4 of these cities will not get a show, and Tokyo will get 2-3 shows.
Mick mentioned touring only once in India and Africa, so the Cape rumour makes sense. London at the end of the tour makes sense if they simply want to end the tour on "home ground".
