As for the rest of the lineup, Ronnie Wood will be joined by former Faces Kenny Jones and Ian McLagan, with ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman filling in on bass for the late Ronnie Lane.
Proceeds from the event, to be held at London's Royal Albert Hall on 25 October, will aid the PRS (Performing Right Society) for Music Members' Benevolent Fund, which helps musicians, songwriters and their families in financial difficulties.

The group enjoyed such hits as Stay With Me and Cindy Incidentally before disbanding in 1975.
