Mike Williams, Editor of NME, said: “We are proud of all that NME has become known for – striking photography, authoritative reporting, strong opinions and interviews with the most iconic artists in music. 

“That’s why we put together a birthday issue unlike any of the others, to express what makes this magazine so special.

“Eight covers illustrate NME’s individuality and personal recollections from some of the biggest names in music show the rapport NME has with these stars.”
