Default What's next?

Alright, time for some rounds of pure speculation again!
With just 3 more shows to go on this leg and nothing further announced so far, what will be the next step BJ are going to do?

Will they really tour Europe 2019 on the back of an album from 2016 which had widely gone unnoticed outside the fanbase anyway and which didn't even span a proper radio single?

Are they going back to the studio this fall for a new record? If so, what could it be about? Jon's main inspirations for THINFS, the record company turmoil and the departure of Richie, have mostly been solved I guess. Is there anything he has to say at the moment or could it lead to another WAN album?

Imagine they decide to go back to record. What line-up will it be? Phil X has posted recent videos of recording sessions for the new Drills album. I'm sure that's something he likes to promote after its release. But will he just be skipped on the studio work for most parts (like on the recent album) and return for a tour?
What is Shanks going to do? I think there's zero doubt he'd be the producer again, but will he have the desire to keep touring or was it just a commitment to his friend Jon who had gone through a rough time beforehand? I'm sure at the end of the day a producer wants to produce some artists as well.
Will Richie be involved in some way? Since RSO at least seem to be on hold at the end of the year (Ori has announced her solo record for that period), they might try to at least write some songs together again. Or will he re-join? If so, with Phil X or Shanks on board for live shows? I guess it all depends on how far things might've been settled during the course of the Hall of Fame event (I'm sure that they at least have talked about it in private at some point).

Or are they gonna call it quits?
