Even though Debbie Harry has been approached about a potential biopic about Blondie, and the band has plans to release a new album in the coming months, she’s not sure about the future of the group.

"I ran into a wall: the [2024] tour ended, Clem [Burke] died, and wow. What is this space I live in now?" Harry said during an interview with Vanity Fair published on June 30. “I’m curing — I’m doing a cure. And part of that is de-cluttering up my space, which is crowded with that life. I need to get some breath, get some air in there. And I want to feel that little spark of creativity, surprise — those things. There’s a little tingle of that, and I hope that will be there for me.”

And while the “Heart of Glass” singer confirmed that a biopic and documentary are in the works, she was still seemingly hesitant about them.

“I don’t know how a life can be summarized or given a caption. I suppose there’ll be something that’s off the wall but will somehow work,” she explained. “I’m happy to be doing it — it’s helping me to collect my thoughts.”

Blondie first formed in 1974, and it wasn’t until four years later that they made their splash into mainstream media. It was their third album, Parallel Lines, that really put them on the map with hits like “Heart of Glass” and “One Way or Another.” However, after almost a decade together, the group split up due to a couple of reasons. Their sixth album, The Hunter, underperformed, and at the same time in 1982, guitarist and Harry’s partner at the time, Chris Stein, was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called pemphigus vulgaris. The disease left him severely ill and required Harry to step back from music to care for him.

That wasn’t the last fans had seen of the group though. They reunited in 1997 and in 1999, they released their comeback album, No Exit.
