A free exhibition of Blondie's 1978 tour features 50 prints and memorabilia at the Barbican Art Centre, running until January 2026.
"When I boarded the plane in May 1978 to photograph Blondie's lead singer, Debbie Harry, in New York, I could not have conceived that there would still be a demand for my images over 45 years later."
When I boarded the plane in May 1978 to photograph Blondie's lead singer, Debbie Harry, in New York, I could not have conceived that there would still be a demand for my images over 45 years later. Those assignments produced a body of work that resulted in magazine cover stories, album and single covers, tour programmes, posters, a book, and two photo exhibitions.
"Keeping a rock band together for 50 years was like a marriage, and it's sad that with Clem's passing and without having Chris onstage, I can't see myself being onstage as Blondie, even though I am the face of Blondie."
