NME Magazine
NME will no longer be available as a weekly magazine, its publisher has announced
The final edition will be released on Friday after 66 years as one of the UK's most iconic music publications.
Its publisher Time Inc UK said the decision to stop its print edition is due to rising production costs and a "tough" advertising market.
Instead, it will be "focusing investment on further expanding NME's digital audience".
The magazine launched in 1952 and has featured global superstars on the front including David Bowie, Oasis, Dua Lipa, Amy Winehouse and Sam Smith.
Its website launched in 1997 and the magazine went free in September 2015.
Musicians and fans have been reacting to the news on social media.

NME and Melody Maker always present in our 'English' classroom. I only bought it if Marc Bolan was in it so I could cut out the article for my scrapbook....

Loved it - mandatory reading from 1962-1966 but, somehow, lost its importance to me after The Beatles split up.

Met a mate in the Black Sheep, York today he was gutted, as he’d read it throughout the late 80s and even appeared in it during the 90s
I read all of them including Sounds depending if they had articles on the bands I followed

I used to go to the one near the Regal in Wakefield - all exciting and new.
Exemplified by the first few episodes of the TV series 'A kind of Loving'.
