Rod Stewart has revealed he is in talks to reunite with the Faces, and is 'ear-marking 2015' for a possible comeback.
The original Faces lineup, which also features Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Lane, last reunited in 1993, and frontman Stewart told Boston's WZLX Radio there's a strong chance the band will be reuniting in two years, after revealing he would no longer be making an album with guitarist Jeff Beck, saying they had "lost contact".
"I think we have got much more of a chance of getting the Faces back together, in fact," he told WZLX. "Ronnie [Wood]'s office is talking to my people, and we're ear-marking 2015."

The Faces last performed together at the Brit awards in 1993. They were due to make an appearance at their 2012 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Stewart was forced to pull out of the gig when he came down with the flu.
"I'm absolutely devastated," he said in a statement at the time. "Shattered that I'm going to miss my second induction ... this time alongside my mates." Simply Red's Mick Hucknall stepped in to replace Stewart for the induction, and has been touring as the band's frontman ever since.
Drummer Kenney Jones had previously hinted the Faces were due to reunite with original frontman Stewart in a YouTube interview in June 2013, and would tour in 2014.
His tour runs awfully close to Glastonbury 2014. Could Rod make an appearance?
Stewart, who embarked on a successful solo career after leaving the Faces, is set to play five massive UK stadium dates in June 2014. See the full dates below. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
