Rod Stewart Faces Reunion Question

With ’70s band the Faces to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, original singer Rod Stewart has spoken about possibly re-joining his old colleagues for a show or two.

Stewart told Rolling Stone, “Oh, yeah! I’d love it. If they’re all available I’ll definitely make myself available.”

The band also included guitarist Ronnie Wood, keyboardist Ian McLagan, drummer Kenney Jones and late bassist Ronnie Lane.

“It’s something that I would want to do, but it’s getting a commitment from Ronnie [Wood] who is hanging onto what the Stones are going to do. He’ll suddenly say, ‘Hey, let’s tour next week!’ I’ll say, ‘Hold on Ronnie, I've got commitments! I’ve got commitments for the next year.’

“If we all sat around and said, ‘Let’s do it next summer, or let’s do it for charity’ or whatever reason, I would do it. It’s not totally ruled out.”

Rod Stewart Talks Faces Reunion

Rod Stewart has explained the reason for his refusal to participate in the recent Faces reunion. According to the Daily Express, Rod wants Ronnie Wood to quit The Rolling Stones.

Stewart told Billboard: “The trouble with Ronnie, we get together and we mess about, but the thing is, he is still committed to the Stones. Talking for myself and the rest of the band, we need a commitment, not just, ‘Well, I’ve got next month off.’ It doesn’t work like that. It’s not very professional.

“If he can give us the time, then I’ll commit to that as well. Until he’s finished with the Stones, whenever that will be, I can’t commit to it. I’d love to. I really would love to.”

Meanwhile, the Faces (who currently include Wood, Ian McLagan, Kenney Jones, Mick Hucknall and Glen Matlock) have gigs planned in July.

Faces tour dates:

July 2 – Cornbury Festival, Oxfordshire, U.K.
July 8 – Bospop, Weert, Netherlands
July 9 – TWC, Werchter, Belgium
July 23 – Hurtwood Park, U.K.
July 30 – Fuji Rock Festival, Japan
