The first Blondie record in eight years, it marries some familiar traits — strong tunes, vibrant vocals, a twist of reggae — with a modern, electronic sheen.
Harry was initially reluctant to get back on board, but is now happy with the outcome. A solo album will never have the same identity as a Blondie one. But the great thing about the female punk singers was that we all played in bands. Worse followed when Stein was diagnosed with the life-threatening genetic disease pemphigus. Harry put her career on hold and spent four years helping to nurse him back to health.
A reunion was inevitable, but many were surprised when the band returned with such vigour. Not only did they top the UK charts, with Maria, in , but they re-established themselves as a major live draw. Things are more efficient now, and that helps us keep going. The next album is already well under way. Panic Of Girls is out now. The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.

The music legend is open to dating married men, as she once admitted. According to Debbie Harry, being in her 70s availed her a short supply of eligible single men to choose from as a prospective boyfriend.
As a single woman powerfully in the dating game with the absence of single men, Harry revealed she was willing to find love, even if it meant kicking off relationships with the married ones. After over seven decades on earth, it's only logical for one to crave for a certain level of satisfaction only a full house could avail.
That's when the thirst for children begins to surface. Debbie Harry explained it best while stating one of her life's biggest regrets. She divulged: "I guess it never struck me as being part of survival, and for many people, it is.
It's a way of surviving. Although she regrets not having kids, the star was determined to leave an imprint in the world through other means. Luckily, she has her music and other remarkable Hollywood feats to carry on her legacy. Women with Will. TV Shows. Inspirational Stories. Harry is 74, and has been through some traumatic events. Her biggest mistake, she says, was money. In the early 80s, Harry and Stein — they were in a relationship for 13 years — lost everything. Their debut album, the eponymous Blondie, came out in , and for years they toured the world; they had six No 1 UK hits, including Heart of Glass and Call Me, and sold 40m records.
Worse, Stein was in hospital recovering from an autoimmune disease — Harry would spend the next few years looking after him — and they were not sure how they would pay his medical bills. It also meant the end of the band. At the time, they were both on heroin. How would she describe her relationship with it? But I think at that point it was a necessary evil. To some degree, it was self-medicating. It was a rough, depressing time of life and it seemed to suit the purpose, but then it outlived its benefits.
She does this a lot. Her aunt became addicted to painkillers. It was hard for her to get off of all this.
