grrm is 70. his last book was 2011, and before that was 2005, and 2000. so on average abotu 6 or 7 years per book. he has 2 more books that we know of. so about 12 years to 14 years. a 70 year old man on average has 14 years left to live. but old age can present many issues, and he will prolly need to have help to finish, if he finishes at all!

I’d be shocked if GRMM has 10+ years left in him, he’s not a super healthy dude. It’s a shame that he won’t get to finish his story, but it doesn’t sound like it’s a priority for him either.

Worked out well for the Wheel of Time series. At least there, the original author knew he was going to die so he got to work with the second author for a while to keep him in line. GRRM could do the same thing so long as he doesn’t choke on a street taco.
