Rod Stewart Confirms Faces Reunion With Ronnie Wood

Rod Stewart has confirmed that he is to reform his former band the Faces.

The reunion, which has been widely rumoured over recent weeks, will feature the band's original line up, including Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.

When asked about reports of a reformation, Stewart told the Mirror newspaper: "Yes, absolutely. We have our first rehearsal on Monday.

“It will be next summer and I am looking forward to it. It'll be great."

Stewart said the that Wood, who is engulfed in personal problems, was “up to it (the reunion)”.

He added: "He is full of energy and very excited. We try not to mix our family problems with work.”

The group, who last toured in 1975, are expected to perform a string of live dates and record a new album.
