Here is the description of "How Can It Be? A Rock & Roll Diary" from the Genesis website:
Ten years before he joined the Rolling Stones, Ronnie Wood’s musical apprenticeship with The Birds catapulted him onto the stage of swinging London’s music scene, aged just seventeen.In 2012, Genesis published "The Faces 1969-75," a limited-edition memorabilia book from The Faces, the band that Wood was in from 1969 to 1975. He toured with the Rolling Stones in 1975, while "on loan" from the Faces, and then Wood officially joined the Rolling Stones in 1976. Wood (who was one of the original members of the Faces) did reunion tours with the Faces in 2010 and 2011. The tour lineup also included original Faces members Kenney Jones (drums) and Ian McLagan (keyboards); lead vocalist Mick Hucknall (who substituted for original Faces singer Rod Stewart, who has declined to do a Faces reunion tour); and bass player Glen Matlock, who replaced the late Ronnie Lane. The Faces were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. McLagan died of a stroke in Dec. 3 2014.
