If I was betting man in Vegas I would put money on him never stepping foot on stage again. However, there are two things that made me think there might be a chance. One was the fact that he was off on a trip to James Bay mere days after the Kingston show (during which he did look more tired and worse for the wear). I thought after a full month of touring that he would want/need to spend weeks at home recovering. I was encouraged by the fact that he was off doing something. And he has seemed relatively busy with all the sightings up north so I thought maybe he's doing better than I would have imagined.
The second thing that made me think he might play some shows (I agree that mounting a full scale tour is highly unlikely) was that it would bring more attention to the issues of the Residential School system that seem so close to his heart right now. The CD, book and animated show are going to be very helpful in this regard but shows would draw further attention.
Your observation about his hands is tremendously sad and kinda hit me like a gut punch. I'm just so damn thankful that he's going down swinging on this and is still out there on the road doing important work.
