Chris Stein teases final Blondie album with late drummer Clem Burke
Blondie's drummer Chris Stein has taken to his socials to confirm that the band are gearing up for the release of their first full-length studio album in eight years.
After posting a photo of Debbie Harry and John Congleton to X, formerly known as Twitter, Chris Stein shared in the caption that the "Next Blondie album should be around last quarter this year". In response to a fan asking whether Clem Burke featured on any tracks, ahead of his passing earlier this year due to a battle with cancer, he revealed that "Clem played the whole thing".
