Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Ever since Niki D'Andrea and Mike R. Meyer's cover story on faux celebrity/singer Sonny Long hit newsstands I've been waiting to see what Long would have to say about it. All was quiet until about four hours ago, when Long twittered this:
I would like to apologize to all my fans, family & friends for having to read a story filled with lies about me. My side of the story is coming soon!
Yup, that's it. For now, anyway. Considering Long has been pulling this shtick for at least five years, I think we may hear a little more before this thing settles out.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
