A popular music magazine has been closed down just months after being relaunched online. Q, which originally closed after 34 years in 2020, was revived as an online publication nearly six months ago after a licensing deal was struck by New-York based Empire Media Group. But its surprise closure, which came to light on Friday, means a team of six full-time staff have lost their jobs.Writer Will Harris is one of them, saying he'd lost his 'first full-time employment in a dozen years'.
Editor-in-chief Andrew Barker said the decision to shut the magazine down 'came with no advance warning, and no indication that anything was wrong'. 'To say that we were shocked and devastated would be a colossal understatement.' Sky News has contacted Empire Media Group for comment. Separately, last week saw the return of a 90s lads mag Loaded.The magazine relaunched its website after disappearing nine years ago, offering a £9 monthly membership.
