As Blondie split in 1982 following their sixth studio album The Hunter, Debbie launched a solo career.

Her 1981 solo debut KooKoo, produced by Nile Rodgers, went gold.

However, Debbie stepped back from the spotlight in the mid-’80s to nurse Chris through a rare autoimmune disease.

She explained: “Some things are more important than work. “Chris gave me so much. I owed him that.”
