Mick Hucknall to stand in for Rod Stewart
NEWS that Mick Hucknall is to fill in for unavailable original frontman Rod Stewart in re-formed Seventies’ supergroup The Faces has met with a backlash from diehard fans.
But the 50-year-old Simply Red star, who joins Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones, says: “It’s a shame that Rod can’t do it but then Rod isn’t the Rod of 1973.
Those songs, the keys are so high and it’s pretty intense staying at that kind of pitch for the whole night.”
