I'm a believer that there is a Stones album still to come. They have unfinished material and some new inspiration here and there, not to mention talent that does not disappear.
I think they'll make a new album ok - mainly because there's only so much mileage they can get out of recycling a greatest hits show for years on end with one recent song included as a token gesture - but they wont be writing it together from scratch as the original post suggests.
It was pretty reasonable to think after 2007 they'd never make another record, especially as considering the state both Keith and Ronnie were in at various points during that tour followed by Ronnie's descent into booze oblivion in 2008-09 (when his dick did most of his thinking) you would have got decent odds on them being both alive in 2016 let alone in any fit state to make a new record.
Thankfully, they're both in much better shape than we could have hoped.

Ok ... now we are into these semantics again. Who knows.. we shall see. Looks to be they have material readied and I am sure they will do /write more ... but again who knows what route they will take with it?
Point is this.. they are making a new album. There is no other way to look at it. Why? Well because they are interested in that... they WANT to. Or at least they are interested in entertaining that idea to see what becomes of it.
Has nothing to do with mileage or any of that.. first and foremost Mick and Keith expressed a strong desire to make another Rolling Stones album...
Why? Not because they have to.. or because they need to ... or even because they feel they should (although those things all fall in line).
They are going through the effort and time to write / record and release an album simply for the fact that... Well because they <want> to lol.
*The Stones haven't needed to do anything for a Loooooooong time mate (as you know). They don't need the money .. and they are well past the age of retirement... have been for quite some time. The Rolling Stones do things because they WANT to... ESPECIALLY at this stage of the game for them.
They have a strong interest in creating and recording something again ...
It's pretty simple, really .. why try to keep reading into this any more than that?.. .. ...
