Rod Stewart and the Faces Reunion Set for 2009 !

MUSIC NEWS - Faces keyboard player Ian McLagan recently confirmed that the reported rehearsals of the re-formed The Faces '09 reunion went well. On his official website, mscspages.com , McLagan posted;

'The rehearsals were a lot of fun, everybody was in fine form and things are looking good for a gig or two next year, but these things take time to work out and I'm just going to wait until there's something solid to report, so I'm not getting excited just yet. .....I'm holding my breath'.

The Faces line-up is McLagan on keyboards, Ronnie Wood on guitar, Kenney Jones on drums and Rod Stewart on vocals with Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea replacing the late Ronnie Lane on bass. The Faces grew from the 1960s band The Small Faces and became The Faces in 1969 when singer Rod Stewart joined the band. They've released four studio albums, the most notable being 'A Nod is as Good As a Wink ' which features the classic tune, 'Stay With Me'. Stay.. is still a part of Rod Stewart's setlist ! The band broke up in 1975, as Rod Stewart had for the previous three years juggled his job as lead singer with his other job as solo superstar.

Details on a 2009 Faces reunion tour are still "tbd". 'We just have to sort out when and where and drop all of the management egos and just do what we can. We know we can do it. It's just a matter of getting everyone's availability sometime next year,' Ronnie Wood previously told Rolling Stone. We're hopeful for worldwide stops by the group !!!
