The final Blondie record will drop in Spring of 2026.

Debbie may release more solo records, she probably will. But now says she feels uncomfortable performing as "Blondie" as she is the only original member who's still fully active.

Poor Clem.

Did they ever reveal the cancer that took him?

I'm guessing one of the usual suspects, as he went fast. And too young these days: 70.

Founding member Jimmy Destri also disclosed he was being treated for cancer recently, apparently successfully he's in good spirits.

The title HIGH NOON comes from a lyric from one of Debbie's "ancient songs", written and recorded in 2003 with Blondie called Diamond Bridge. If the new material is as good as that then then we could be in for a treat.

In the meantime Blondie have remastered and are reissuing their 1999 comeback album NO EXIT. The album which went top 20 USA, and top 5 United Kingdom allowed them to pick up where they left in the 1980s.

This is awesome. Blondie have always spoiled their listeners with choice. It means there is a total of six classic Blondie records recorded before 1982, plus six "modern era" Blondie records released post 1999. Add to that Debbie's five solo records...

Crazy to think that Blondie has had a nearly fifty year career. To put in some perspective, it’s like Sabrina Carpenter or Chapelle Roam releasing their “final” album sometime in the mid 2070s.

I hope they treat us to a little bit of Doo-wop on the new record.

Not wanting to piss on anyone’s parade, but Debbie Harry’s voice is completely shot. As it should be at her age. She really must need the money.

I'm surprised this didn't make more waves, but Dolly Parton did a cover version of "Heart of Glass" last year featuring Debbie on a duet. Both their voices sound "elderly" yet it is pleasant to listen to.

R10 That version is not pleasant. It was a mistake for Dolly to cover this song. Somethings do NOT go together ever. Dolly and "Heart of Glass" fall into that category. I like Dolly but this vover is terrible.

The No Exit design concept of blue (and orange for the remixes) pixilated “covert” photos and imagery was pretty genius. The band looked and sounded amazing at that time.

It’s not the final album.

These people are senior citizens they need to stop.

The photos in OP’s linked LA Times piece are impressive. She looks really good styled in this way.
