But best of luck to him - he's not a quitter and we'll no doubt see more surprises when he's feeling stronger. Some more personal appearances, maybe a record, that second book he's long spoken about... I'd be happy with that.
And somebody needs to get out to his house with a film-crew and start on a lengthy documentary/interview focusing on everything after 'Bat'. I think we've all decided on that much.

all of those things would be great. The in-depth interview would be amazing, as he says he was known as "never shuts up" so I'm sure he could cover much of his career at length. I'd love to see him live but only if his health allows it. He might be able to sing while seated, but I don't think they have made the chair that can contain him on-stage.
He seemed to be working on a compilation some time back, even asking fans if they had copies of things. He also has tons of soundboards. He was going to release one here a couple years back but was concerned people would copy it and sell it. But, frankly I don't think you can avoid that happening.
Vh-1 has the material to make the ultimate DVD, maybe even upconvert to the highest possible resolution. I do recall he said the copyrights and contracts on that stuff could get tricky.
I don't think he will ever stop working on something, he just needs the right outlets for it.
