He doesn't owe the fans a fricking thing, but he owes it to himself to finish the series. Nevermind that he owes it to himself to not be morbidly obese and near death at the ripe old age of sixty-fricking-five.
If he doesn't finish the series, it would be like Michelangelo saying, "Ah, frick it," and throwing down his chisel while still working on the David's legs. It would not be like if he simply keeled over unexpectedly. He's spent nearly 20 years on this work and knows he is getting older.
There are few unfinished masterpieces in the art world, one of them being Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. And let's face it, GRRM is no fricking Da Vinci.
He should be racing, racing to finish this masterwork, with the knowledge that time is fleeting. Nevermind that he may die, what if he begins to get Alzheimer's? At 65, he ought to be busting his arse to get done what will make him live on for years and years to come, not going to ComicCons and going on vacations.
But maybe that's just my own opinion. I can tell you that I would want to cement my legacy, not worry about interviews in which I tell my fans to frick off.

I agree with everything you've just said. Time isn't on his side, and as a fan I have thought about his weight and that not helping either.

Going to Cons are probably part of his obligations to HBO and his publishers.
As for the rest of what you said in the quote, you're basically saying he shouldn't enjoy any part of his life and possibly die slumped over his MS-DOS word possessor.

I really don't have an opinion one way or the other, but if I was 65 and honestly thought I may be in the last stretch of my life (10 years or so) you better fricking believe I would go on any damn vacations I wanted, not "busting my arse". frick a legacy (he already has a great legacy by the way). None of that shite will matter to you when you are dead
