Debbie Harry has announced that she will be releasing her first memoir later this year.

The memoir will be titled “FACE IT” and will be published via HarperNonFiction and Dey Street Books. It will feature a curated selection of fan art, Harry’s own personal images and her wild stories as the frontwoman of Blondie.

Harry stated in a press release: “I didn’t want to, but I did. There are many more stories for me to tell; some funny, some scary, some warm, some chill to the bone and if FACE IT appeals to people then I will get to telling more of the anecdotal bits of the story of Blondie – like the time I met Rita Hayworth and Penny Singleton backstage at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.

“This book is biographical and covers a lot of years. I know there will be questions asked because, in putting this together, I realized I have led a very full life and couldn’t possibly cover everything in just one volume. I’m prepared for the best and the worst comments, much like when I have released an album or done a big show. I don’t have a thick skin, but I do have a pretty good sense of humour.”

FACE IT will be available to purchase October 1 via HarperFiction.
