That's a real shame, he was an excellent drummer, I saw Blondie live in Brighton as recently as 2022 and they still had it, in spades. Debbie still had a great voice, unlike many older singers and Clem's drumming was awesome. Glad I got to see them.
Their last album, Pollinator, is really good. When I saw them Debbie went on stage wearing a cloak with 'Stop F**king the Planet!' on the back. Clem had to stop her ranting on at one stage. She's nearly 80! (Sorry about the exclamation marks @Tikay10)
