RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS Bassist "Knows Nothing" Of FACES Tour

here is reporting:
Despite reports that THE FACES are reuniting for an album as well as a tour with Flea (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) on bass, Rod Stewart's spokesperson tells Billboard "there are no plans for a Faces reunion tour this year." Additionally, a spokesperson for Flea tells Billboard the artist "knows nothing" of a Faces tour.
Guitarist Ron Wood (THE ROLLING STONES) reportedly told the UK's Daily Mirror that he and Rod Stewart wrote an album's worth of new material during a Christmas vacation, and that Flea would be participating in an upcoming tour. However, the online version of the piece has since disappeared from the Daily Mirror Web site.
Rumors have swirled since last fall that Stewart, Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones (THE WHO) were planning to tour for the first time since splitting in 1975. The musicians reportedly rehearsed last year with Stewart touring bassist Conrad Korsch filling the role of the late Ronnie Laine. But a recent report in the New York Post suggested the members didn't get along during the process and that a tour seemed unlikely.
