Jeff Beck 'hopes for Rod Stewart reunion'

Guitarist Jeff Beck has revealed that he hopes to collaborate with longtime friend Rod Stewart in the near future.

In an interview with USA Today, Beck stated that he has recently composed several songs for the potential reunion.

"I cut some tracks and sent them to Rod, and I'm still waiting for a response," he said. "Some are originals, and we've got great covers, too… So yeah, ball's in your court, matey."

When asked to comment on Beck's claims, Stewart's manager Arnold Stiefel insisted that the musicians "are making progress and an upcoming project is looking promising".

Stewart previously provided vocals on two of The Jeff Beck Group's LPs in the 1960s and the pair re-teamed for a cover of 'People Get Ready' two decades later.
