Stewart made the official announcement last night whilst attending the Claridge’s Bar 10th Anniversary Party, a suitably glittering affair also attended by the likes of Jade Jagger, Ronnie’s daughter Leah and, er, Cilla Black.
The original line-up – minus bassist Ronnie Lane who died in 1997 – start rehearsals on Monday, November 17.
If the old magic’s still there, they’ll be touring in 2009 with a major Irish stop-off on the cards.
