Shit.

One of my favourite drummers. A total showman who always gave it everything.
Here's Clem in a gold lamé suit going wild on a brilliant version of Hanging on the Telephone:

 

He was a great guy and a fantastic drummer. RIP Clem, and Godspeed.

 

Learned a lot of intermediate drum skills off Best of Blondie.

 

OMG. So sad. He drove the fuq outta that band, so tight and solid, even back in the day my ears perked up when Blondie came on the radio because "that drummer freakin' slams". Unfortunately seems like he was generally overlooked in great drummer lists but if you knew, you knew. Hopefully today he gets some love. RIP, Clem!

 

In the 1980s and 1990s, after Blondie disbanded, Burke played drums for Chequered Past, The Romantics (from 1990 to 2004), Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, the Eurythmics, Dramarama, Iggy Pop, and Joan Jett, among others. He also filled the vacant drummer position with the Ramones for two performances in August 1987, under the name "Elvis Ramone," following Richie Ramone's sudden departure.

In 2016, Rolling Stone ranked Burke 61st among its 100 greatest drummers of all time.

Yeah, RIP.
It took me a good long while before I came to appreciate just how much he added to that Blondie vibe and in recent years he still had that attitude of "I'm not just another drummer". Rest easy fella.

 

Clem, he was a great drummer! RIP.

RIP.

Had he only done this one song, he would still be immortal.

 

Awesome drummer, sad news but his work will live on

 

One Way Or Another... decent song then you hit that middle break and HECKIN YEAH. The outro rocks too.

Damn. Loved his playing. Here,one of their most recent ones, Debbie isn't in her best vocally but the drumming is tight as fuck. Absolutely no bullshit drumming. May he rest in peace.
