The man is 78 and is still doing like 15/20 concerts a year. I'm just saying........

Some 90 year olds are more physically capable than some 20 year olds with certain health conditions, just saying…

I just remember Clapton also has a very serious condition...

Yes, but it’s a condition that still allows him to tour. We don’t know if that is the case for MK. Pointless trying to compare different people, everyone is different.

Of course we don't know what's MK problem if there is any further than the speculations, but the Clapton case is very clear that he really wants to keep playing, even a small.number of gigs, no matter if he has a record or not, he still enjoys playing his songs live for the people.

And that used to be the last part of the cycle that MK always said he loved. A small number of gigs like Clapton does is a good way to keep that cycle thing.

If he wants.

Or if he can

Or both.
You might get lucky, now and then
