(Classic Rock) Rod Stewart has paid tribute to Faces bandmate Ian 'Mac' McLagan, who died this week after suffering a stroke. The keyboardist passed away in Texas at the age of 69. He'd been due to launch a US tour with Nick Lowe this week.

Stewart was attending a performing by Mick Hucknall - who took his place during the Faces reunion of 2010 - when he was heard the news from guitarist Ronnie Wood.

He tells the NME: "I'm absolutely devastated. Ian embodied the true spirit of the Faces. I was at a charity do, Mick Hucknall was singing I'd Rather Go Blind and Ron texted me to say Ian had passed. It was as if his spirit was in the room. I'll miss you mate." Read more here.
