    No way! Mac and Bobby Keys both passing within hours of each other? A terrible day for the Rolling Stones and for music generally. Can't have even been 70 either....

    Only Kenny Jones left now.

    RIP Ian McLagan

    Gutted - love his keyboard lines on Itchycoo Park, Tin Soldier etc. I played in a Small Faces tribute band in the mid 90s - his autobiography All The Rage was a great read as well.

    Very shocked and saddened by this news. He was only 69 and died from a head injury I believe?

    I wanted to be in the Faces when I grew up. Still waiting to grow up and still waiting for that call - I guess it will never come now.

    RIP Mac.

    Thanks Lincs, so it was a stroke.

    a ridiculous name for a terrible affliction Saga L .. a gentle touch, an affectionate caress .. more like a hammer blow that is the number one cause of major disability in the UK and one of the major causes of death .. Ian M may well have also hit his head .. when I was in hospital with a minor stroke, my 'ward companion' had fractured his jaw and nose in the fall induced by his stroke .. all in all a dreadful business

    I have seen the Faces and The Small Faces a number of times back in the day. The Small Faces album Ogdens Nut Gone Flake is one of my favourite albums. Having Professor Stanley Unwin on it is genius.

    I never saw the faces........ but they remain to me one of the groups that I wish I had.
    Wether with Rod, or Steve, they were a special band and this cover song is one of my favourites.

    All the rage is well worth a read if you were around at the time of the Small Faces and afterwards. Mac actually fell in love with Keith Moon's Missus. He Had a helluva life.

    I saw the Small Faces at The Iron Curtain club in St Mary Cray in early 1966. Friday night, packed to the rafters. Great night, in Mod heaven.
