Debbie Harry is releasing an autobiography called - Face It

The Sunday Times Magazine this week (29th Sept) features Dean's shoot with Debbie Harry the music legend and style Icon. The pictures are accompanied by writer Decca Aitkenhead's great interview tapping into Debbie's views and what might be expected from the book, Decca says early on in the piece, 'Face It is a riot of jaw dropping rock'n'roll anecdotes...' .

The photographic session took place recently at one of London's most prestigious and glamorous luxury hotels, 'The Savoy' on The Strand. This hotel has such a rich history and many  famous guests have stayed there from Monet, Frank Sinatra to Elizabeth Taylor to name just three, the list goes on and on...So it was the perfect setting for Debbie, who has to be one of the most recognisable and legendary artists in music's hall of fame. 

The book will be available from on the 1st October 2019 and it looks like a great read. 

One good shop that will be selling signed copies (while stocks last) is Rough Trade, they introduce Debbie in this way:

'As a musician, an actor, a muse, an icon, the breadth of Debbie Harry’s impact on our culture has been matched by her almost Sphinx-like reticence about her inner life. Through it all – while being acclaimed as one of the most beautiful women in the world, prized by a galaxy of leading photographers and fashion designers, beloved by legions of fans for her relentless, high-octane performances, selling 50 million albums or being painted by Andy Warhol – Debbie Harry has infused her perennial Blondie persona with a heady mix of raw sexuality and sophisticated punk cool.', 'Face It is a memoir as dynamic as its subject.' - Excepts from Rough Trade's website here.
