Music magazine Uncut has published a commemorative special issue dedicated to the late David Bowie.
The tribute includes a 5,000 word obituary from author and Uncut contributor David Cavanagh, which appraises Bowie’s legacy, his contribution to culture, the fearlessness of his work and his ability to see into the future and shape it. There are also interviews with some of Bowie’s key collaborators from the past 45 years. The memorial cover features the iconic black and white photograph of Bowie entitled ‘The Archer’, reputedly one of his favourite images of himself.
To complement this special, Uncut has also reprinted its deluxe edition of the Ultimate Music Guide honouring Bowie’s legacy, which was one of the bestselling editions from 2015. The cover features Bowie in his ‘Aladdin Sane’ guise. The issue itself includes interviews with Bowie from throughout his career unearthed from the NME, Melody Maker and Uncut archives, along with in-depth reviews of his 26 albums.
John Mulvey, Editor of Uncut, said: “I’m hugely proud of the work the team has done to produce this David Bowie memorial issue, and feel very fortunate that we’re able to publish an obituary with scope, erudition and emotional heft. We’ve also made our Ultimate Music Guide to Bowie available again. Hopefully, together, they’re a fitting tribute to an artist who will always cast a giant shadow over Uncut’s world.”
Both issues are available from today (21st January). Uncut is priced at £4.99, with the Ultimate Music Guide at £9.99.
