HUGE band are set to reunite at Glastonbury for iconic Legends slot after confirming they are making a new album together

Sir Rod Stewart is planning a mini-reunion with his band Faces when he takes to the stage for Glastonbury’s Legends slot next month.

Ronnie Wood, who is a close friend of the Maggie May hitmaker and performed alongside him in the 70s, is heading to Worthy Farm for a performance. 

Rod himself shared the news during an interview on The Peter Crouch podcast, after he was asked whether he’s kept in touch with the Rolling Stones or Sir Elton John.

He replied: ‘Not really, but Woody and I do a lot just recently because we are going to do Glastonbury together.’

When asked why they lost touch, Rod said it was because Ronnie and Elton had quit booze, saying: ‘I think they stay away from me.’

Rod was тιԍнт-lipped when asked whether Faces drummer Kenney Jones will be joining them on-stage. 

However, the music legend confirmed in November that he had reunited with his Faces bandmates for a new album.

Speaking on the Soccer A-Z podcast, Rod said: ‘I’m meeting up with the last two members of the Faces tomorrow, and we’re working on a documentary, because next year will be our 50th anniversary, or 60s. 

‘I don’t know what it is, but when the faces were together, and we’re trying to put out an album. So I shall be with Mr. Woods and Mr. Jones.’

Rod and Ronnie have been friends since 1969 when they were both members of rock group Faces.

Although the band parted ways in 1975, the pair kept in touch, with Rod serving as best man to Ronnie’s wedding to Sally in 2012.

The Faces – which formed in 1969 – released their final album Ooh La La in 1973, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2012. 

The five-piece band formed in 1969 and also included bᴀssist Ronnie Lane, who died in 1997 after battling with multiple sclerosis, and keyboardist Ian McLagan, who died last December following a stroke.

Famous for huge hits such as Stay With Me in 1971 and Ooh La La in 1973, the long-haired rockers also gained a reputation for their off-stage antics involving alcohol, groupies and wrecked H๏τel rooms.

But with Ronnie departing from the band in 1975 to become a full-time member of the Rolling Stones, Rod eventually dissolved the group officially at the end of that year.  

The group previously reunited in 2015, with Rod saying at the time: ‘Getting back on stage with the lads playing Stay with Me and other favourites will be a blast and will make this a very special night.

‘Being in The Faces was a mad and brilliant time for all of us and although we don’t have Ronnie and Mac with us anymore this is our chance to remember them and say Had Me a Real Good Time.’

Kenney added: ‘The years of The Faces were some of the best of my life and I’m so proud to have been a part of the band. 

The original members were set to reunite for their 2012 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Rod was forced to pull out of the gig when he came down with the flu.
