Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry has recalled how she was once surrounded onstage by a group of Hell’s Angels.Speaking in new interview with The Sunday Times, the star said that the incident culminated in her being dragged off stage by guitarist Chris Stein.She said: “I was on stage once when a bunch of Hell’s Angels took it over.

I kept singing away but all of a sudden Chris yanked me off. Everyone was worried but I wasn’t. The bikers were absolutely charming, they were just so into the music.”Harry also offered her thoughts on her impending 80th birthday later this year.

She turns 80 on July 1.“I don’t walk around thinking every minute, ‘Oh God, I’m going be 80 – but that’s sort of how I feel,” she added.“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.
