I think that they will have 'moved on' by then.
But it would of course be great to see Bill - and Mick T - at a 60th show.

I got the impression Bill was quite hacked off at only playing one number last time round and inferred he wouldn't be doing it again.

They try to make it sound like he was all "you just have to keep it going" when realistically he was more like "whatever"

I'm not sure I get the girlfriend analogy. I meant Charlie was whatever about the prospect of them doing the shows without him. We all know him in that regard, he's been vocal about it. He says whatever, Mick says Oh he absolutely wanted us to

From [iorr.org] :
"Wyman documents the frustrations that followed. They began when he was told he could only play two songs at the O2.
'And they wouldn’t tell me which two,' he says, managing to sound both indignant and unemotional at the same time. 'It really disappointed me. I said, "Why don’t you let me do the last five, and then your guy [Darryl Jones] can do the encore?" No, no, no. So the day before the rehearsal I’m going through 50 Stones songs, thinking they’ll want me to do my signature ones like Miss You and Jumping Jack Flash. Then they tell me I’m doing Honky Tonk Women and It’s Only Rock’n’Roll.'
The torments didn’t stop there. 'Two days later I went to the O2 for the soundcheck. I had to use his [Jones’s] amplifier and he plays completely differently from me. He plays with his fingers, hard, I play with my thumb, lightly. I didn’t have time to check out his amp settings. Then Mick says, "We’ve got to rehearse with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and this girl [Florence Welch] and there’s no time for a soundcheck - for you." In the end I just went on stage, plugged in and hoped for the best.'
What was the reason for such treatment at the hands of his former brothers in arms? 'Maybe they were punishing me for leaving the band,' offers Wyman, to cries of protest from his personal assistant, who’s sitting at a table nearby. 'They never wanted me to leave. When I came off stage and went to join my wife and daughters in the pit, the bass player started doing Miss You! He’s playing all my parts - and not as well as I thought he should. He’s playing the octaves as single notes. And then Mick starts saying what a great bass player he is, right in front of me. "Look at Darryl, isn’t he fantastic?" goes Mick.'
Wyman shakes his head. "They never forgave me for leaving". " -- [TheAustralian.com.au] - 15-Jun-2015 - (paywalled).

Hyde Park 2013 would have already been a nice opportunity .... 1-2 songs each in their original lineup with Bill Wyman and/or Mick Taylor - but they didn't.

Mick Taylor DID play with the Stones in Hyde Park 2013 - on MR and Satisfaction.

Charlie's statement when he bowed out of this tour, that he looked forward to getting back and rejoining the group "later this year".. still has me wondering if they don't have something else up their sleeve for later this year.
A few weeks break after Austin would have them starting sometime mid December if that were the case.. Perhaps they're shooting for one last time around the globe, landing in England for the anniversary.

I'm pretty sure Charlie was referring to rejoining the current tour if he was well enough to
