Oh FFS Clem Burke has died.

 

Put some Blondie on. Turn it up. Listen to the drums.

No! One of my favourite drummers of all time. Some of his stuff was truly amazing.

I was hoping to see him when Bootleg Blondie come to Galashiels this Christmas.

Big shame.

A really great drummer. In my teens I got to see Blondie in their heyday. 

All I really remember was my friend fainting in a crush when Debbie came to the front of the stage, and it being very loud.

He was always a great drummer and a part of one of my favourite bands of all time.

He's very busy on "Dreaming" and makes the drums sound so damn good :o)

Great drummer with a total Keith Moon infatuation. Lets hope those two meet up in the sky. RIP.

Sad to hear this. What a drummer and so important to the Blondie sound.

Seventeen years old, Barbarella's in Brum crammed against the stage I couldn't see much of Clem, could hear him though.
