WHO IS ALEX TURNER?
A PORTRAIT OF A MODERN MASTER
Hello...
THIS WEEK’S
cover is a special
one. Illustrated by
the excellent Andy
Gellenberg, it’s a
portrait of Alex Turner
using clippings from
the Arctic Monkeys and
Last Shadow Puppets
frontman’s career – as
told though the pages of
NME.
Turner has always held a special
place in our affections, being
championed more than a few
times as the greatest songwriter
of his generation. We’ve put him
on a pedestal next to people like
Morrissey and Dylan, and on that
count he’s never let us down.
That’s not to say that people
haven’t started questioning him.
There’s the odd new accent. The
allegations of tax avoidance. And
of course
that
“rock’n’roll” speech
at the 2014 Brits, which was the
nal nail in the prick cofn as far as
some people were concerned.
I said at the time and I stand
by this today, Turner’s idea of
rock’n’roll isn’t about an antiquated
idea of “guitar music”, or about
genre elitism, but spirit and ethos,
excitement and unpredictability;
The traits that British music has
always been renowned for. The
guy is a riddle and an enigma,
which is why Matt Wilkinson –
who’s interviewed Turner more
than any other journalist – has
been tasked with nding out what
makes him tick. Enjoy.

STONE ROSES FRONTMAN IAN BROWN HAS TOLD
NME
THAT
the band are denitely working on brand new music. Following
rumours they’d started on the long-awaited follow-up to 1994’s
‘Second Coming’, the singer spoke outside The Church Studios in
north London, saying new material from the band would be coming
“soon”. He added that the sessions were going “like a dream” and
that the new songs were sounding “glorious”. Suspicions were
raised when the band’s gear was spotted outside the studio by fans,
who shared photos on social media. One fan said Brown told her
new music could be coming “before June”, ahead of their gigs in
Manchester and Perthshire this summer.
