Plans to get former members of the Faces back together for a tour seemed to be going well until word got out early this year that things had gone nowhere since the fall (story).  The reunion has firmed up, but as a single Royal Albert Hall benefit concert instead of a whole tour.  Equally disappointing is the news that Rod Stewart does not plan to participate.  Guest vocalists will fill his role, and former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman will take the stage October 25 for the late Ronnie Lane.  Proceeds from the concert will help a program that provides assistance to musicians and songwriters facing financial difficulties.
