Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry has announced her first autobiography. Face It, a first-person account of Blondie’s rise in 1970’s New York, features a mix of essays penned by Harry and interviews by journalist Sylvie Simmons. The book also includes previously unseen photos and fan art. It arrives October 1 via Harper Collins.
“I didn’t want to [write it], but I did,” Harry said in a statement. “If Face It appeals to people then I will get to telling more of the anecdotal bits of the story of Blondie – like the time I met Rita Hayworth and Penny Singleton backstage at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles… I have led a very full life and couldn’t possibly cover everything in just one volume.”
Blondie’s latest album, Pollinator, was released in 2017. They head out on tour with Elvis Costello & The Imposters this fall. Read “How Blondie Got to ‘Heart of Glass’” on the Pitch.
