however, you are right that Mick and promoters didn't want to risk the unknown, just in case. they didn't want to in 2011/12 and didn't want to in 2018. and apparently you are similarly risk averse, or you think you'd be.
what do you do? in their situation? when they already made millions on millions? you disband and keep the peace in the family. you keep the only legendary band with all classic-era members still around and able to perform intact. you don't break it up into pieces.

Idiot Mick can't live on making a half a million. He needs big bucks to live the life that he truly can't afford.
The legacy of FM means nothing to him.
Hitching his broken down wagon to $tevie's sagging 3 note goat tractor is the best chess move he has.
