British band The Faces is getting ready to tour without their most famous face.  An extensive 2010 tour will happen minus frontman Rod Stewart.  Guitarist Ronnie Wood (now of the Rolling Stones), keyboardist Ian McLagan and drummer Kenney Jones have all asked Rod the Mod to join them, but Ian told Billboard, "If we don't do it very soon, one of us is gonna check out.  We've been waiting and waiting for Rod to say yes; now he's finally said no."  McLagan continued that Stewart was busy with other projects. 

Other projects?!  Rod, do you mean to tell the us that your album of cover songs, "Soulbook" is more important than a world tour by The Faces?!?  I don't get it.

There's no dates for The Faces yet, but, Ian McLagan will play Off Broadway at 3509 Lemp Ave on Tuesday (11/24) at 8p.
