DMG, I'm under the impression, after listening to the MK speech at the RAH, that he has no intention of stop playing live, but to stop doing big international tours...
Probably he will choose to do maybe a month or less in cities where he can stablish a base for a whole week and be comfortable. Like doing two weeks in the UK and Ireland doing base in London at this own home, and then some European big cities where he can base in one city to fly from and back.
