The Faces, formed in 1969, brought together Ronnie and Sir Rod after their time in the Jeff Beck Group. The band's notable hits include "Stay With Me" and "Ooh La La." Ronnie's enthusiasm for creating new music with Sir Rod and the upcoming Rolling Stones album release hint at exciting developments in the music world.
