Does Mick Hucknall mean anything in America? Did Simply Red have hits there?
That "Holding back the years" song was huge here in the US at one point, but that's about it.
Simply Red had TWO #1 hits in the USA, Holding Back The Years (1986) and If You Don't Know Me By Now (1989). Simply Red still has some name recognition in the States, but only an avid Simply Red fan would have any idea who Mick Hucknall is.

face it. the name "faces" has virtually no recognition that would command ticket sales of beyond a few hundred, if that. you talk to the average music fan and i guarantee you less than 1 in 5 would be able to tell you anything about the faces. their opportunity for any kind of sustained tour of medium-sized venues vanished when rod opted out....with him, they'd no doubt bill it as rod stewart and the faces, which is probably what he asked for, knowing that without that title, nobody would go.

my guess is the tour was cancelled because of low ticket sales. or maybe an illness? who knows. i highly doubt it was cancelled because mick or keith or charlie decided to get off their ass and do some stones work. cancelling a tour is a big deal. it makes promoters look bad, there's reputations at stake, money lost, etc...
seeing mac again on thursday - i'll ask
