Rod Stewart was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1994 and he said of his second-time honour: “Well it’s quite a thrill and honour to make it in the Hall of Fame a second time,” Stewart said in a statement. “We (The Faces) were always synonymous with a good party and with this list of fellow artists being inducted I’m looking forward to (it) … and it’s a hell of a good reason to reunite and celebrate with my old mates.”

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on April 14 in Cleveland.
