Rod Stewart reveals he has reunited with the Faces' Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones as the trio work on a new documentary

Rod Stewart has revealed he is working on a new documentary with the members of the Faces.

The singer, 79, has reunited with his bandmates Ronnie Wood, 77, and Kenney Jones, 76, for the new film and the trio are also trying to work on a new album.

Speaking on the Soccer A-Z podcast, Rod said: 'I'm meeting up with the last two members of the Faces tomorrow, and we're working on a documentary, because next year will be our 50th anniversary, or 60s. 

'I don't know what it is, but when the faces were together, and we're trying to put out an album. So I shall be with Mr. Woods and Mr. Jones.'

The rocker is also continuing to work on his own solo gigs with plenty of shows lined up for next year.

He said: 'As far as gigs, I got three before Christmas, then next year is really, really busy over the US and Europe. 

'I love it, I love it, I’ve got the best job in the world… I'm happy, I have a drink after the show and I get paid for it. What a job. 

The Faces - which formed in 1969 - released their final album Ooh La La in 1973, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2012. 

The five-piece band formed in 1969 and also included bassist Ronnie Lane, who died in 1997 after battling with multiple sclerosis, and keyboardist Ian McLagan, who died last December following a stroke.

Famous for huge hits such as Stay With Me in 1971 and Ooh La La in 1973, the long-haired rockers also gained a reputation for their off-stage antics involving alcohol, groupies and wrecked hotel rooms.

But with Ronnie departing from the band in 1975 to become a full-time member of the Rolling Stones, Rod eventually dissolved the group officially at the end of that year.  

The group previously reunited in 2015, with Rod saying at the time: 'Getting back on stage with the lads playing Stay with Me and other favourites will be a blast and will make this a very special night.

'Being in The Faces was a mad and brilliant time for all of us and although we don't have Ronnie and Mac with us anymore this is our chance to remember them and say Had Me a Real Good Time.'

Kenney added: 'The years of The Faces were some of the best of my life and I'm so proud to have been a part of the band. 

The original members were set to reunite for their 2012 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Rod was forced to pull out of the gig when he came down with the flu.
