No, most likely it will take them a year, then followed by a tour in the summer of 2011. By then, they will all be in their mid 60s and it might very well be time for a farewell tour.

I even think the latter guestimate is even too optimistic. I'm guessing they'll end up touring through the summer, then need their obligatory year plus off. Then they'll reconvene, and take another year plus to record an album. So we're looking at an earliest possible release date of summer 2012 for the album. But we all know how the band works, they'll fuss around, and it'll be at least spring 2013 before they put out an album, then tour that summer. That's still being pretty optimistic by Mac standards. I'm guessing they'll end up fighting on this tour, and it'll be longer than that (if at all) before we get one last album out of them.
