Recently, Ron Wood announced there would be a Faces reunion. The guitarist said he had written an album's worth of new material with Rod Stewart and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers would be touring and recording with the band as Ronnie Lane's replacement.MusicRadar.com: Flea joins the reunited Faces (January 21, 2009)

History
The Faces came together in 1969 after the lead singer of The Small Faces, Steve Marriott, abandoned his group to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. The remaining Small Faces, bassist Ronnie Lane, keyboardist Ian McLagan and drummer Kenney Jones, would find more than capable replacements in guitarist Ron Wood and the charismatic vocalist Rod Stewart. The group performed together until 1975.
