Classic Pop  |  Dec/Jan 2017
The new issue of Classic Pop magazine is on sale now!
Available now from WH Smith, Tesco and independent newsagents, our latest issue features the last interview with singer Pete Burns, which took place just a few short weeks before his tragic death in October. We hope it serves as a fitting tribute to the flamboyant Dead or Alive frontman.
Elsewhere, we bring you the inside story of the biggest pop reunion of 2017 as Matt and Luke Goss tell us about hitting the comeback trail with Bros next year.
We’re overflowing with music legends, too, as former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and ex-New Order bassist Peter Hook spill the beans after writing their respective autobiographies.
The Human League look back on their groundbreaking career with us, we talk to an unrepentant Marc Almond and Simple Minds tell Classic Pop about why they’re going acoustic for their latest album.
We celebrate the innovative life in music of Peter Gabriel and unleash the chaos by casting our critical eyes over this issue’s Classic Album – Licensed To Ill by Beasties Boys.
Our reviews section is packed with everything from new albums by Robbie Williams, Madness, Kate Bush and Sting to cracking live shows by ABC, Gary Numan, Yello and Hollywood auteur John Carpenter.
