Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry has reflected on turning 80 years old later this year and talked about the “beauty of ageing”.The singer-songwriter will hit the milestone age on July 1, 2025.

During a new interview with The Times, Harry explained: “I don’t walk around thinking every minute, ‘Oh God, I’m going be 80’ – but that’s sort of how I feel.”She continued: “My mother used to say in her head she was 25 and I’m the same.

But thinking about it all the time could be your downfall. And I don’t really want the same kind of life I did when I was younger.“I’ve done that!

That’s the beauty of ageing – you know what it’s about. You have it in your heart and soul and your memory bank … or does that sound like an excuse?
