Ya know,

Keith's stomach is lookin mighty plump. It has been growing more and more it seems. His legs, arms, and face are basically unchanged.

With the reports of him suddenly giving up drinking .... do you think he is having some kind of liver problem?

Sure, alcoholics tend to develop a type of pop-belly but this is pretty sudden, and the guys been drinking for years. If the guy actually has been told to stop drinking by doctors recently, and with his apparent belly in recent pics ....I certainly hope Keith has not finally developed a liver disorder of some sort.

Ugh... 

You will not be greeted.

Dont honestly see what the fuss is. I think people analyse this stuff way too much at times.

Keith's had a paunch for a few years now. Hardly unusual for a man in his mid 60s who doesnt really look after his fitness - especially one who's wealthy, well-nourished and who hasn't worked for a long time.  Most recent photos I've seen of him he's looked better than he has done for some time. Compare how he looked at that awards ceremony he attended with Depp a couple of months ago to how he looked in those photos a year or so ago when he was pictured with another band (was it The Dirty Strangers? He looked like Methuselah).

It's funny how people have been able to accept his face ageing dramatically in the last two decades, but then suddenly get alarmed because he puts on a bit of weight. The 'heroin chic' look would be pretty ludicrous for a man of that age.

I think those two by themselves are valid enough reasons, to be honest. There could be several others, including what you're implying, but not putting enough time aside to make a new record, and deciding that a 2011-2012 tour to take them up to the 50th anniversary instead of a 2010-2012 may well be more feasible considering their ages, health and individual wishes may be even more significant.

It's the shepherds pie folks!

dudes are toast

He's a man of wealth and taste. 

Seems like his face would be yellowish or something if he had severe liver problems.....I'm not sayin' his liver is in great shape... , but I think he looks better now than he did awhile back...

Ian, please take note of subject common idiom and retain.  Many thanks.

I remember reading that article in a magazine, GTRM, and at the time I got the impression that Keith was saying all his doctors were scratching their heads not understanding how the hepatitis could have just vanished, but some people are blessed with immune-systems capable of totally eradicating a virus, I remember reading about the prostitutes in Africa who, although testing positive to the exposure of HIV virus, didn't have any active virus anywhere in their bodies and were perfectly healthy although people sleeping with them were dropping like flies, and HIV is a FAR more sophisticated virus than Hepatitis. It's just one of those things that happens in the long-term evolution of viruses and humans (host versus "parasite" warfare), there's always a few humans who will develop the ability to escape a lethal virus, it's just long-term biological adaptation.
