Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood to reunite for Glastonbury set

Rod Stewart has confirmed he will reunite with his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood for his set at Glastonbury Festival.

The 80-year-old singer is filling the coveted Legends slot at the music event, which is being headlined by British pop/rock band The 1975, Neil Young and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo.

Faces, who were known for hits including Stay With Me, formed in 1969 following the split of Small Faces.

Asked if he keeps in touch with The Rolling Stones’ members and “other people in music” while on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Stewart said: “Not really. Woody (Wood) I do a lot, just recently, because we’re going to do Glastonbury together.

“Elton, sometimes, you know, birthdays, but nowhere near how we used to, I think probably because he doesn’t drink anymore, and Woody doesn’t drink, and I still do. They stay away from me. Bad influence.”

He also told the podcast: “I’ve done it (Glastonbury) before. I did it in 2002 but this is on the legend stage.

“I was only supposed to play for an hour and a quarter, but I’ve asked them ‘Please, another 15 minutes’ because I play for over two hours every night and it’s nothing, but yeah, looking forward to it.”

Faces released four studio albums and toured regularly until 1975, when the band split up and Stewart went on to pursue a solo recording career.

Earlier in the week the veteran British rockstar was presented with a prestigious lifetime achievement award by five of his children at the American Music Awards.
