First, it's highly doubtful John would ever tour again. Is it really FM if the Mac isn't there?? Not for me it isn't. Would this stop the others from doing a cash grab tour? Never. The greed is strong with this bunch.

So, ok, that leaves the remaining 3 little piggies:

1) We KNOW Mick would do it in a heartbeat No further discussion required on that.

2) Years ago, I would have followed this by saying next that Stevie would do it but Lindsey would be the holdout. NOW, however, sadly, it's Lindsey who would be the second one to sign on for it. You know, to 'come full circle' and 'fulfill their destiny' and to 'respect the legacy we've spent 50 years building' and 'honor the body of work' and blah blah blah.......

3) Which brings us to Stevie who has SWORN she will never, ever be onstage again with Lindsey, and she's given him '80 million gazillion chances' and she's just "done" and.... as noted she can sell plenty of tickets and get plenty of media coverage all by herself, thankyouverymuch and don't forget to curtsey on your way out.

That said, Mama does love her some money....and though you'd think she sure as shootin' would have more than enough to die with by now, and leave her nearest and dearest set for life, enough is really never enough for her. Touring is where the big bucks are....think of how much (some) people would pay to see that tour..... And she does have a mega powerful team on her side that would knuckle the other knuckleheads under for every extra dime to ensure she gets the most along with all the other perks.....and a tour would soooooooooooooooo be the talk of the town which she loves.

Which is to say...is there a universe in which she would agree to do it? Yes.
Will that universe be the one in which we all currently live? I'm thinking no.

As for an album, that is a total non-negotiable NO from her

You make really good points. And I most agree with you that there will never be a performance of Stevie, Mick, John, and Lindsey on stage ever again.
Just on the point about John...in the universe that we don't live in where there would be a FM tour or final farewell one night only, if John doesn't do it - the only reason I see Lindsey doing a one night only or tour without John is if a statement is put out prior to the show like The Stones did in 2021 while Charlie was dealing with his illness which I think was cancer and after Charlie passed where it was shared that Charlie said to proceed with Steve Jordan as the drummer and it was Charlie's desire that the band proceed and he handpicked Steve. So like: John handpicked Fed Pol or Al Ortiz (Stevie would get her guy for this)

Nobody in the band or the band's team disputed that Lindsey wouldn't agree to doing the 2013 Australia and New Zealand tour because Mick and Stevie wanted a substitute for John.
