Rod Stewart has paid tribute to Ian McLagan, who died yesterday [December 3].
In a statement sent to Uncut, Stewart said, "I'm absolutely devastated. Ian McLagan embodied the true spirit of the Faces. Last night I was at a charity do, Mick Hucknall was singing 'I'd Rather Go Blind', and Ron Wood texted to say Ian had passed. It was as if his spirit was in the room. I'll miss you, mate."
Stewart is the latest musician to mourn the passing of McLagan.
Jeff Bridges has narrated a new short film about Bob Dylan and the Basement Tapes sessions at Big Pink.
Available exclusively on Bob Dylan's Official Facebook Page and BobDylan.com, From The Village To The Basement compresses more than 12,000+ photographs into an extended time-lapse tracking shot, opening on the sidewalk in front of the Washington Square Hotel in Greenwich Village, moving northward through upstate New York, and finally pulling into the driveway of Big Pink, where The Basement Tapes were recorded in 1967.
