I have some bad news about @QMagazine. The issue that comes out on July 28 will be our last. The pandemic did for us and there was nothing more to it than that. I have attached our final cover and my editor’s letter for context.
On the plus side, we’re all available for work. pic.twitter.com/rm8qOcUBtB— Ted Kessler (@TedKessler1) July 20, 2020
Too much U2?
Not enough U2?
We may never know.

I thought it went under years ago.
Sad. Only ever saw it in WH Smiths in Victoria Station lately; but enjoyed it in earlier years.
Mind you, NOTHING beat Smash Hits.
Gas how they create a 30th Birthday Collectors Edition
And then decide it’s their final edition
Bono on the cover to close it out n’all
That issue is from a few years back afaik.
Ah right
Not something I’ve ever kept an eye out for
I still miss The Word magazine. I’d say there’ll be lots more too, hopefully WSC survives.
Select used to be a great music mag…
They used to give great free CDs. Discovered Eels and Teenage Fanclub thanks to Q.
Great headline
I’d say you guys are awesome to go out for a pint with (socially distanced and a restaurant serving a €9 meal)
Punning away to each other like good things to beat the band
You didn’t get an invite?
Foggy Notions was just lovely.
Great free CD, printed on luxuriously smooth and strokable paper and great interviews and features.
Sigh!
+1 I’ve a great Donal Dineen mix that I still play… Might even still have the mag :)
Wonderful magazine for a few early, mid 90s years and then they stuck The Corrs on the cover. It got worse, a lot worse. The 100th edition was a musical bible then by the 200th it was a spent force. Only commerce no culture and a bit of an embarrassment after the glory years even though music mag choice was still in the single digits. A fitting final cover. A bit like the way Q burst their own bubble, Mr Morphoid; plasticined, airbrushed, commercialised and ready to squeeze out the final pitiful shekal. Boh-Noooooo.
Western civilization is clearly coming to an end, not with a bang but a whimper.
As mentioned above, good from 98-01 ish. The Bono front cover shows that they can’t even die gracefully. Good riddance.
Hot Press next.
