I had the same set of strings on my Les Paul for 17 years. BUT I never played it during that time. When I pulled it out of the case I tuned it up and it was fine. Couldn't touch them though, rusted and dirty. Of course when I replaced them the guitar woke up. Nobody hear would go longer than a year, hell I change mine every 6-8 weeks because I love fresh strings. I play a lot.
