Legendary Blondie Drummer Clem Burke Dies of Cancer

The death of Clem Burke, the drummer for Blondie, was announced on the group's social media accounts, following a "private battle with cancer."

But his Blondie bandmates may have put it best, when they wrote, "Clem was not just a drummer; he was the heartbeat of Blondie."
