The Faces reunite 40 years later for Rock 'n' Horsepower concert (2024)

The three surviving members of the Faces - Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones, and Rod Stewart - reunited onstage the Rock 'n' Horsepower charity concert in Surrey on Saturday.

It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since the English rock band's debaucherous heyday when they hired a bartender to serve them onstage during shows.

On the website, Jones said the bass player Ronnie Lane - who died in 1997 - and keyboard player Ian McLagan - who died last December - 'will be dearly missed but we’ll raise a glass to them.'

Stay with me! The three surviving members of the Faces - Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones - reunited onstage the Rock 'n' Horsepower charity concert in Surrey on Saturday

The way they were: It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since the English rock band's debaucherous heyday when they hired a bartender to serve them onstage during shows (pictured in the 1970s)

The band's drummer - who turns 67 this month - hosted the festivities at his very own Hurtwood Park Polo Club in Ewhurst, and each £50-£1000 ticket benefited Prostate Cancer UK.

Kenney - who later joined The Who - also happens to be a prostate cancer survivor, and he famously overcome it with 'magic beads' aka 4D brachytherapy.

70-year-old singer Rod - whose solo career amassed him a $220M fortune - is a thyroid cancer survivor and he was excited to 'jam.'

Great stuff: It's clear to see the three men have continued to stay friends

Two gone: On their website, Jones said that Ronnie (L) - who died in 1997 - and Ian (R) - who died last December - 'will be dearly missed but we’ll raise a glass to them'

'Being in the Faces back in the day was a whirlwind of madness but my God, it was beyond brilliant,' the Grammy winner and father-of-eight marveled.

Stewart - who's sold over 100M records worldwide - will drop his 29th studio album Another Country on October 23.

And 68-year-old Ronnie - who later joined The Rolling Stones - had himself a 'real good time' getting back onstage with 'the lads.'

'Playing Stay with Me and other favourites will be a blast and will make this a very special night,' the spiky-haired guitarist said.

'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.'

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 Englishmen later posed with Ronnie's third wife Sally Humphreys and Rod's third wife Penny Lancaster.
