Debbie Harry: “I crashed into a wall”
According to what was stated by Debbie Harry During an interview granted to the Vanity Fair magazine, i Blondie At this moment they are lost in limbo. In a place where the future is more uncertain than ever, even if the publication of a new album is scheduled for next autumn – their latest album, “Pollinator” (Read the review here), dates back to 2017 – and the singer of the US band was contacted to create a documentary on the band.
These are the words of the fresh eighty year old (he turned the years just yesterday) Debbie Harry: “I am in the processing, but I don’t know how to summarize a life or give it a title. I guess there will be something a little out of the box, but that it will somehow work. I am happy to do it: it helps me to tidy up the ideas.”
It is true that the death, last April, of the drummer Clem Burke he changed something. And it could not be otherwise. “I crashed into a wall: the tour is finished, Clem is dead, and Wow. What is this space where I live now? I am taking care of. And part of this is to free my space, which is crowded from that life. I need to breathe, to take some air. I want to hear that little spark of creativity, surprise, those things. I feel a small shiver, and I hope it lasts.”
In the past Harry had already caressed the idea of retiring from the scenes, as he declared Clem Burke In 2014: “As for the voices on the last tour, we decided that we will live forever. But Debbie is older than me and has hinted that the time could have come. Obviously without her, there would be no more blondie.”
Always in the interview with Vanity Fair, Debbie Harry He said that, slowly, he is getting rid of some things related to his life on stage. “I don’t have everything. I have the scene and the clothes I made for the photographs and shows, I have been careful, even if I am a pile of rags. I am in a warehouse, because I kept them at home until I could no longer. But now that I am no longer on tour, I’m becoming good at eliminating them.”
