    Clem Burke, the drummer from Blondie, has died aged 70.

    Loved Blondie (and not just because of the obvious!) and loved the drums on this.

    R.I.P Clem, will have a bit Blondie on tonight.

    That's terrible mind .

    What a drummer he was. Loads got him to drum for them when he wasn't doing his Blondie stuff. He was a workaholic .

    Absolute star IMO. And a left hander at that!

    RIP Clem. God Bless.

    He has a fantastic cv, I know he backed Bob Dylan for a bit.

    My condolences to his family and friends....RIP Clem

    Like the rest of the band he was overshadowed by that blonde lass who did the singing …

    … he had a great career and, I hope, a great life.

    Rest in Peace.
