Sure, but only if he comes out publicly and says so. I don't want hear it through a publicist or make my own assumptions by his actions.

Charlie Watts (February 2018): The end of the band
Charlie: I think if Mick or Keith retired then it would be [the end]. But they could get another drummer, another guitar player. If Darryl didn’t want to do it anymore we’d have a nightmare finding another bass player but Mick and Keith would or could carry on. If Mick said I’m retiring I don’t know how we’d do a show without him, or Keith.

You have a lot of rules. We could use a list!

I think Keith has been quoted as having said, "It's bigger than the both of us." in talking about the Glimmer Twins' spats over the years.
The Rolling Stones' band has been such a business for so many years until it clearly IS bigger than any one of them. That said, what Charlie said does resonate (with me, at least) that it would be impossible to conceive of a performance without Mick or Keith as being THE Rolling Stones. As much as the Stones' musical credibility was enhanced and verified by Charlie's presence, playing, and participation, and as irreplaceable as we may want him to be, if the Stones play with Steve Jordan, I imagine that if we all closed our eyes, it would sound like the Rolling Stones.
From another angle, when Simon Kirke sat in for 6 numbers at the 100 Club at the Ian Stewart memorial, did anyone think it was not the Rolling Stones?
I'd love to hear many of you most eloquent folk weigh in on that.

Start with character, credibility and accountability. All people make mistakes.

Well take Mick or Keith out of the band and it would never have had the success they had. Although Charlie, Bill and Brian made big contributions in their own right for sure.
I always thought Mick was the closer to Charlie but I could be wrong. It will be hard for all three to go on without their mate for sure.
