So young and so gone


This must be one of the purest and strongest covers Brett ever graced, looking very young. Les Inrockuptibles is one of the more serious music and film magazines of France, and it's still around. The issue is odd, because it had two different covers: the one with Brett and another one with Luke Haines of The Auteurs. They are both portrayed as being part of a nouvelle vague in 1993.

Funnily, on page 3 of this issue we find a small picture of Brett as a kid in the local football team. The 6 page interview is treating all the classic Suede themes. There's also an ad for the debut album, announcing you get the infamous French He's dead promo, together with the album.
