Debbie Harry says Blondie's break made them legendary

Debbie Harry says she has no regrets about Blondie's 1982 split, arguing it helped turn the band into a legendary act.

Debbie Harry has revealed that she has absolutely no regrets about splitting Blondie at the peak of their popularity, claiming that it led to the band achieving their "legendary" status. Speaking about the group's break in 1982, she said: "In a way it was very providential - it went in out favour because people were copying us and there was nothing I could do about it, and then when we came back we had taken on this status as being something legendary, or some ridiculous thing. By then I just felt flattered by it. It's interesting to see what becomes style and what become acceptable".
