Debbie Harry to release first autobiography later this year
Debbie Harry has announced her first autobiography, FACE IT, which will be released later this year.
The Blondie vocalist's memoir revisits the underground scene in New York during the 70s, and is an intimate insight into Blondie's journey to superstardom.
Commenting on her FACE IT memoir, Harry said, "I didn't want to, but I did. There are many more stories for me to tell; some funny, some scary, some warm, some chill to the bone and if FACE IT appeals to people then I will get to telling more of the anecdotal bits of the story of Blondie-like the time I met Rita Hayworth and Penny Singleton backstage at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. This book is biographical and covers a lot of years. I know there will be questions asked because in putting this together, I realized I have led a very full life and couldn't possibly cover everything in just one volume. I'm prepared for the best and the worst comments, much like when I have released an album or done a big show. I don't have a thick skin, but I do have a pretty good sense of humor."
FACE IT is written in collaboration with journalist and author Sylvie Simmon, and features original essays from Harry.
Harry recently made an appearance in Halsey's "Nightmare" video.
