Faces' revised lineup makes me anxious

I can't help thinking a FACES reunion would be much better with ROD STEWART in his customary place at the front of the 1970s rockers.
The band hit the headlines this week with the news that the Faces are due to play a world tour starting next January, after playing at a British festival this August.

There are two key replacements in the lineup. The former Sex Pistol bassist Glen Matlock will fill in for the late Ronnie Lane, who passed away in 1997.

The more controversial replacement is MICK HUCKNALL, the Simply Red singer, filling in for former frontman Stewart.

Guitarist Ronnie Wood, drummer Kenney Jones and organist Ian McLagan round out the lineup, that scored hits with "Stay With Me," "Ooh Lah Lah" and others.

I have always loved the Faces, but the thought of the Simply Red singing belting out the hits makes me anxious.
