Blondie at IOW Festival

[Lavinda Past]

Debbie Harry. Oh my God. She looks like a cross between Jimmy Savile and Mickey Rourke. She sings like them too.

Who picked the acts for this festival?
Blondie are absolutely fucking awful.

Another 1970s dream destroyed.

She must be pushing 80 now surprised she can get on stage without help

Back landing stairs

Back landing stairs

They'd probably sound a lot better than what's coming out of her gob.

 

[Banshee]

She was one of the support acts for INXS at Wembley '91. Her voice was shot then.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Credit to the old girl for keeping going.

Clem Burke has been great.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Going to find a spot at Lytham this summer on the seafront when she's playing with Sting (oo-er) not going into the gig at £70+ but on the beach with a few tins.

 

[Cheer Up Peter Reid]

Totally embarrassing. What a catalogue though, some absolute classics!

Have they done Union City Blues yet?

Haaland, Haaland, Manchester City Blue!

Saw blondie in 1978 as a sixteen year old, Debbie was as fit as fuck back in the day, time alas waits for no man/woman.

And she would’ve been approaching her mid-30s then!

77 years old and an absolute legend, credit to her for keeping going even if her voice isn't what it was.
Of course there's gonna be wankers on here slagging her off, imagine criticising a 77 yr old for losing her looks.. but that means fuck all, plenty are still happy to pay to see Blondie live.

I only put this photo on in case anyone wasn't sure about who we were discussing. Heart of gold me.

Looking well for a 77-year old.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

They support Blur here at weekend, look forward to seeing them all.

Shouldn't that be "heart of glass"?

The lead singer, Zoe does a Blondie tribute on her own. When she's with the band it takes it to another level. I saw them at the Hard Rock cafe on Tuesday, absolutely brilliant.

Clem never gets/got credit he deserves/ed

 

[Bluesince1979]

She was amazing in her day. Not only amazingly fit but a superb front man/woman.

I guess everyone slagging her for getting old look fuckin brilliant themselves eh? ;)
