In a moment that feels straight out of classic rock history, Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones has revealed he’s back in the studio with none other than Rod Stewart—his old bandmate from the legendary 1970s rock group Faces. The two icons are reportedly working on new material together, igniting excitement and nostalgia across the rock world.
The announcement came during a recent interview where Wood shared that he and Stewart are collaborating on new songs. While details are still under wraps, the news strongly hints at a revival of the Faces chemistry that helped define British rock during the early ’70s. The band, which also included the late Ronnie Lane and Ian McLagan, was known for its swaggering blues-rock sound and unforgettable live energy.
“We’ve been writing together again,” said Wood. “It’s feeling really good, really natural.”
In addition to this reunion, Wood casually dropped another bombshell: The Rolling Stones are currently mixing a new album, set for release in early 2026. The record would follow their 2023 album Hackney Diamonds, which marked their first full studio album of original material in nearly two decades.
A Faces Comeback?
Although it’s not confirmed whether the music Wood and Stewart are creating will be released under the Faces name or as a new project, fans are already buzzing about the possibilities. The two last performed together publicly in 2015 at Rod Stewart’s 70th birthday celebration, and they briefly reunited with drummer Kenney Jones in 2021.
Given both artists’ busy schedules and legendary status, any collaboration between the two is significant. It not only taps into a deep well of shared musical history but also promises a refreshing return to the kind of bluesy, soulful rock that’s often missing from today’s charts.
Legacy in Motion
For fans of classic rock, this news represents more than just a one-off project. It’s a continuation of a musical legacy that shaped generations. The Faces, with Rod’s unmistakable rasp and Ronnie’s gritty guitar work, brought rawness and heart to rock & roll.
With the Stones still active and Wood finding time to explore creative side paths, this upcoming project could become one of the most anticipated rock reunions in recent memory.
