BTW where is Tetsu? I haven't even seen his name mentioned in any of these Faces reunion articles.

Hello,
I read the following post on another site this morning-an unreal final sentence!
"...About three months ago I was contacted by Kenny J's 'manager' who said Kenny wanted to write his autobiography and could I offer him some advice. He asked various questions about books and the book business which I answered, telling him certain things which he perhaps might not have wanted to hear - ie I didn't bullshit him. I offered to meet with Kenny (whom I have, of course, met plenty of times over the years and who happens to live near me now) and he said he'd get back but he never did.
(I suspect the reason for this was that I stressed that in order for the book to be any good, and therefore sell, Kenny would have to tell the truth about his feelings for all the musicians he's worked with, especially Rod, both Ronnies, Mac, Marriott, the Who, everyone really, and if he just said everyone was 'great' and 'fabulous' and the book was a bland out as a result no-one would buy. Kenny has always been, er, something of a diplomat, so you can see why this might cause a problem...)
The manager mentioned that Kenny wanted his book out in time for a Faces reunion tour which was planned for the autumn of 2009, and another of the things I said which he probably didn't want to hear was that he'd better a get a move on then as the book business is notoriously slow at turning projects around.
Anyway, I asked who would play bass and he wasn't sure. Not Tetsu, who is evidently in no state of health to undertake such a commission. Not Bill Wyman, who doesn't like travelling/flying and would therefore do only UK gigs. I suggested Rick Wills who lives in the same village as Kenny and played in that Small Faces reunion and seemed the obvious choice. The manager agreed and that was it.
Now get this... I mentioned all this to someone I know a couple of months later who told me that he'd been told that Kenny had suggested none other than Sting for the bass slot."
Yowza!
Cheers,
Si.

But surely the Faces will have a show there, considering. I hope.Quote

My sources now tell me that the trouble only began when Rod insisted that ALL the Faces perform, unseen by the audience, behind a black curtain at the back of the stage.
