Devastated.

Was only watching 'When Blondie came to Britain' on the iPlayer Friday night. What a band! RIP Clem.

Bloody hell that’s a shock. He wasn’t very old!

Loved Blondie so much when I was a kid. Love them still now.

Parallel Lines was almost worn out the number of times I played it when it came out.

I saw them in Cardiff a few years ago. I reckon there were at least three females to every male. Clearly many family groups of grandmother, daughter and granddaughter there. They clearly have a particular appeal to the female of the species. She is an icon of course.

I quite like her too.

It's difficult to conceive these days there were bands that were hugely popular like Blondie or The Jam yet remained critically acclaimed. Except perhaps 'Hear of Glass" with Girorgio Moroder 70s synth line-those singles could have been released by a cool Radio 6 band yesterday.

Saw them in the late 70s when she was unreal. No one noticed Clem then…except me, as I played drums. And I didnt really notice him much. RIP Clem. Joining Rick. Two excellent and under appreciated stick men bite the dust close together.

Yes, I saw today. Such a shame.

Carl Palmer is still going strong on the drums gladly , a great live solo performer during his spotlight showcase .

Where do you start looking at Blondie and Debbie Harrys career and soundtrack over the years for us oldies .

Sad news , think he was drumming at Blondies Glastonbury slot a few years back , he looked full of energy .
