Faces keyboardist, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ian McLagan dead at 69 after suffering stroke

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Rolling Stones collaborator and Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan has died.

A statement on his official website said the musician died Wednesday in Austin, Texas, after suffering a stroke a day earlier. He was 69.

McLagan was a member of the British pop group Small Faces in the 1960s. The band changed its name to Faces when Rod Stewart and Ron Wood joined in 1969.

McLagan went onto record and perform with the Rolling Stones, playing on the band’s 1978 album “Some Girls,” including the organ solo on the hit single “Miss You.” He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

He had been scheduled to begin a North American tour Wednesday.
