Debbie Harry: The Fans' Story
A celebration of Debbie Harry's incredible legacy to mark her 80th birthday.
Debbie Harry is one of the most iconic frontwomen of all-time. With Blondie, she refused to be pigeonholed, and genre-surfed across punk, New Wave, rap, disco and much more, breaking the rules and trailblazing her own path, a style icon who paved the way for future generations of artists.
The impact of Debbie Harry runs far and wide, spanning generations and cultures globally. In this hour-long special to mark her 80th birthday, we hear from an eclectic group of well-known fans who recall the impact Debbie Harry had on their life and creativity, from hearing her records, seeing her films and music videos, seeing her live in concert, and even working with her.
The full line-up is as follows: Courtney Love, Paloma Faith, Beth Ditto of Gossip, Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, Belinda Carlisle, Alison Goldfrapp, Andy Bell of Erasure, Drag Race UK star Tia Kofi, Pete Waterman, Amy MacDonald, Louise Wener (of Sleeper), Pauline Black (of The Selecter), Betty Boo, Holly Johnson, Wendy James (formerly of Transvision Vamp) plus Radio 2’s Trevor Nelson, Michelle Visage, Bob Harris and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, soundtracked seamlessly by some of the most iconic pop hits of the last 50 years from both Blondie and Debbie Harry solo.
