In other reunion news, rumors surfaced this week that the Faces--the '70s classic rock band of Rod Stewart and the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood--would soon embark on comeback plans for a 2009 concert tour and new album (their first since 1973). But old-school Faces fans weren't too thrilled to find out who Rod and Ron had reportedly recruited to replace deceased original bassist Ronnie Lane: Red Hot Chili Peppers bass ace Flea. While there was no denying Flea's phenomenal musicianship, it was hard to imagine that his funky, slaphappy rhythm style would gel with the Faces' bloozy sound, so this Faces reunion seemed likely to fall flat on its face. But now both Rod Stewart and Flea's camps have issued statements via Billboard saying no Faces reunion is in the works after all, with or without Flea. And the New York Post is further reporting that tentative Faces rehearsals last year did not go well, making a reunion tour seem unlikely. Talk about losing Face!
