Well all the old farts crowing that it was ‘circling the drain’ as far back as 2001 can finally get their chance to say ‘Told you so’. I can still remember when it was a lifeline. RIP NME!

Maybe they’ll bring the forums back? The return of Montag!

Not sad. Glad less paper is wasted on that shit rag. Didn’t mind it before it went free. It had it’s purpose. When it became an ad rag it was a proper shitter

Really bringing out the arseholes on twitter.

Haha. He’s pinned that tweet too, what a clot.

Prolonged death, but still a shame. Changed my life when first started to read it in 1994 - recall reading a PJ Harvey interview and Down By The Water was on a cover cassette. Was an addict until about 10 years ago.
