special occasions.

And today Rod The Mod Stewart announced another one-off comeback.

Wait, there’s more. Wood and Jones confirmed the
rumors that a new Faces album is in the making.

Jones: “It’s a mixture of stuff we never released which is worthy
of releasing and there’s some new stuff which is really wonderful.
Rod is writing the lyrics and he’s really keen on it.”

Top singles from the past

3 December 2023

Rod The Mod scored hit after hit in the 70s, as happened also
with DO YA THINK I’M SEXY? that topped the UK Charts 45 years
ago today.

A successful lawsuit for plagiarism by Brazilian musician Jorge Ben
was filed because the chorus of Stewart‘s song had been derived
from Ben‘s composition Taj Mahal.

Stewart agreed to donate all his royalties from
the song to United Nations Children’s Fund.

ROD STEWART, born Roderick David Stewart 78 years ago lost his wild rock
