Blondie’s Debbie Harry on their 2021 UK tour with Garbage and how she wishes she’d written ‘WAP’
Garbage frontwoman and NME Icon recipient Shirley Manson inducted Blondie into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, she paid tribute to Debbie Harry’s “unassailable position in rock history” as the icon “who invented the archetype by which all other stars who have followed in her footsteps have been measured.” The pair went way back – Shirley’s pre-Garbage band Goodbye Mr Mackenzie once opened for Blondie, they’ve dueted live, and appeared on the American Gods track ‘Tehran 1979’ together.
