Stewart, Ron Wood and the others could be heading back to the stage and studio...
Rod Stewart met with former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood who now plays guitar in the Rolling Stones at a London restaurant last week to finalize plans for a reunion tour.
A source said: "Ron and Rod had a great time reminiscing. They were having a laugh but there is still a serious hunger to get back in the studio. There are plans for the band to start recording in the autumn with a tour in the pipeline for this winter."
The Faces were formed of members from two bands, the Small Faces and the Jeff Beck group, in 1969 and included Ian McLagan on keyboards, Kenney Jones on drums and Ronnie Lane who passed away in 1997- on bass alongside Rod and Ronnie Wood. The group split in 1975.
The full line-up reunited briefly to play at one of Rod's Wembley Stadium concerts, in London, in 1986. In 1993, the band - minus bassist Lane who was suffering from Multiple Sclerosis at the time performed at the BRIT Awards when Rod was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
