Health permitting i don't see why not, 15 shows per year, perhaps 30 shows, leaves over 300 days a year to rest and spend with family.
Chuck Berry played well into his 80s

They could use christmas already to sell tickets to the tour. But we all hope they have a new record (with Charlie!) coming out pretty soon(ish). But that could be March to push ticket sales.

One of Chuck Berrys later gigs in Finland was so bad that Finland made a new law that if the quality of the performance is unusually bad you are eligible to get refunded.
That said 2018 is three years ago.
I can see the Stones lasting three more years, even more.

Even the Rolling Stones cannot defy the ravages of time forever. They have already surpassed all kinds of forecasts in terms of their likely retirement date. They have broken records of every kind. They have toured almost everywhere it is possible to tour in. They have performed in all the major markets for their music over and over and over again. They have survived deaths, illnesses, a pandemic, changing fashions, patronising reviews of their music, similar comments on their longevity, and accusations of greed, egotism and conceit.
My point? I would like the band to go out at the top of their game. I would like them to vacate the stage before that decision is made by any further bereavements, by - Heaven forbid - a resurgence of the pandemic, or by severe illness. They are pretty much the last band standing from my own fondly-remembered youth. I love these guys. Those currently still with us, and those that have gone before. England in 2022, for their 60th anniversary, would be a fitting end to it all. Like all great heroes they can then ride off into the musical sunset, on their terms. Victorious to the end.

In my opinion with a very likely new album they'll touring at least for three years:Europe, Japan/Australia/Argentina miscellaneous and North America with the possibility of a final Tour in UK.This is my prediction, health permitting

Mick "would have told us"?

They would never announce a farewell tour or even a leg.
But you have to be realistic.

well i think we can assume that they haven't decided that this is goodbye for the usa because if they had then mick would have told us and they would have surely sold a lot more tickets
also if they after 22 decided to continue (which i'm sure they will) they could switch over to arenas and theatres and just do 90 min sets instead of the stadiums

Like Mick's greed : infinite!
In fact Garonor is the name of the festival. "Plaine de la filhole" is the name of the place the gig might/will take place.
Quite large in fact : 35 hectarages.

yeah good point i didn't consider that
they'd have to charge hollywood fl prices to make that work
however they could add a 30 min intermision in the middle of there stadium show to allow them to catch there breath in the future though

Haha, to use the vernacular, ain't gonna be no intermissions in Rolling Stones shows, sorry P Wolf, unless you count Keith's set.
