Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan, and Kenney Jones of the Faces plan on touring next year even if they can’t get Rod Stewart to commit.

The band, who played a Royal Albert Hall show in London last month, did so without their original singer Stewart, with a number of guests taking on vocal duties.

Keyboardist Ian McLagan has now said he will join the other surviving members – guitarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Kenney Jones – for a jaunt without Stewart.

“If we don’t do it very soon, one of us is gonna check out,” he said. “I’m 64, for Christ’s sake! We’ve been waiting and waiting for Rod to say yes; now he’s finally said no. He’s busy doing other shit. So we’re going to do it.”

He said Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall is likely to fill in on vocals again and he would like to recruit Sex Pistols’ Glen Matlock on bass.

I recently saw Rod Stewart on “Kimmel” and he expressed interest in making a new Faces album. For some reason, now he doesn’t want to tour with his former band — a band that actually rocked. It doesn’t make sense.

I guess Stewart would rather make record forgettable albums such as Soulbook and appear on “Dancing with the Stars.” Come on, man.
