There will be a Faces reunion tour in 2010, but Rod Stewart won't be part of it, according to a Billboard report. Says keyboardist Ian McLagan, "If we don't do it very soon, one of us is gonna check out. We've been waiting and waiting for Rod to say yes; now he's finally said no. So we're gonna do it."
While Stewart tours in support of his latest solo album, McLagan, guitarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Kenney Jones will tour as Faces with an as-yet-unnamed vocalist.
If Faces happen to tour in the UK in April, they'll find themselves in good company: Bad Company. That band's surviving original members (Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke and Mick Ralphs) will play a handful of UK shows, according to Classic Rock magazine (who should know, since they are sponsoring the eight-city tour.)
Bad Company played a gig in Florida in 2008, but it was more legal exercise than reunion. The mini-tour will come a couple of months after the release of a live CD/DVD set in February.
