This month our cover stars are Black Sabbath, captured exclusively for Classic Rock in Australia as they embark on their final tour. Come behind-the-scenes with us for insight into this megastar operation, while Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler contemplate the end and the ups and downs of their band's history.

We've got a mammoth piece on Bruce Springsteen in the 80s, from The River to Born In The USA and beyond. We take a look at Janis Joplin in 1966, the unlikely story of a young, shy Texan girl who became a worldwide superstar, inspiring generations of singers to come. We've also got the tale of Lone Star, the band that punk killed (or so the legend goes...), the life of 80s prog survivors/nerd kings Pendragon, the gospel according to Gene Simmons and the fall and rise of funky hard rock man Dan Reed. Elsewhere you'll find interviews with Shirley Manson, Tax The Heat, Augustines, Terry Reid, ex-Ugly Kid Joe man Whitfield Crane and CSNY man Stephen Stills, as well as the story behind The Darkness's ever-loveable hit I Believe In A Thing Called Love.

All that, plus introductions to White Miles and (AC/DC support act) Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, our tribute to the late, great Prince, a buyer's guide to George Martin and the ultimate rock reviews section. And our free 15-track CD, featuring the heavy grooves of Electric Mother, Grand Mammoth and more. Get stuck in, and enjoy!
