Blondie drummer Clem Burke has revealed that singer Debbie Harry is considering bringing the band to an end after 40 years.
“Debbie is 11 years older than the rest of us, so it’s on her mind,” 57-year-old Burke told the Daily Mail. “We’ve tried to keep it going for as long as possible, but it’s not just up to me. Nothing is finalised yet, but obviously there’s no Blondie without Debbie Harry.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Harry told the newspaper: “They are in a hiatus at the moment. They will do some tour dates next year. Nothing is confirmed yet.”
Blondie completed an extensive UK tour earlier this month (July), including a set at Isle Of Wight Festival, and have a run of North American dates scheduled during September and October. The band are due to release a new album called Ghosts Of Download later this year and the lead single, “A Rose By Any Name”, which features Gossip singer Beth Ditto, was released on iTunes last month.
