Classic Pop | July 2026
In our latest issue, cover star Gary Numan gives us a world exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse at his upcoming AI-themed new album and reflects on the recent personal trauma that has made the past year the most difficult of his life.
Elsewhere, we catch up with Andy Bell who puts recent tabloid rumours about Erasure’s imminent demise as a live band to rest and, ahead of its forthcoming deluxe reissue, revisits his debut solo album Electric Blue.
Also getting the expanded treatment is Wildest Dreams, Tina Turner’s star-packed 1996 album. We meet its co-producer Trevor Horn and also hear from Tina’s 80s duettist Bryan Adams as he recalls how his long-held dream of working with the Queen Of Rock ’n’ Roll finally came true.
Legendary producer Tony Visconti looks back on his five decades of working with David Bowie and previews the upcoming tour with his band Holy Holy that may be their last, and we talk to former Atomic Kitten Natasha Hamilton as she reboots her solo career.
Meanwhile, Classic Pop takes a deep dive into Adam Ant’s debut solo LP Friend Or Foe for our latest classic album feature and examines Queen’s controversial detour in funk, disco and R&B for Hot Space. We also put the complete back catalogue of Peter Gabriel under the CP microscope for our regular Album By Album feature.
In a packed reviews section, we give our verdict on new albums including Haircut One Hundred, Simply Red, Beth Orton, Sting, Myles Smith and Embrace. There’s also our comprehensive reissues section featuring Bronski Beat, Kim Wilde, Tina Turner, Def Leppard, Bonnie Tyler and much more. In our live reviews section, we check out Midge Ure and Haircut One Hundred.
