RIP Clem Burke

Blondie star dead aged 70 after private battle with cancer as band pay tribute

 ---

Debbie was the sex symbol of the band - and a fine singer, as well - but they would not have gotten as far as they did without Clem's propulsive drumming and showmanship. He was the Keith Moon of the NY punk scene!

So sad to hear this and, once again, far too young.
