The Jonas Brothers' recent Rolling Stone magazine cover was such a hit among their fans the boys themselves struggled to get a copy.

The siblings were so keen to get an early edition of the publication, they got up early and hit news vendors on the streets of New York on the day the magazine was released.

Kevin Jonas says, "We went up to one of these newsstand guys and he said, 'I have one left, I hid it in the back.' It was awesome."

The brothers now fear they took a copy the newsagent was keeping for himself.

Kevin adds, "We got it and that's all that matters."
