I'm bisexual: Debbie Harry

Blondie's lead singer Debbie Harry says she's had romantic relationships with both men and women.

American rocker Debbie Harry has revealed she's bisexual.

The Blondie star has often been quizzed about her sexuality and in a new interview she reveals she has had relationships with both men and women.

She's told the Britain's Daily Mail she doesn't really have a preference, but admits she finds women "more sensual".

"I don't know if I have any specific requirements. Just somebody nice, who has a good sense of humour and loves to have sex. What more could you ask for?" Harry said.

Harry was involved in a long-term relationship with bandmate Chris Stein in the 1980s, but she has never named any of her female lovers.

Blondie snubbed an offer to play in Sochi during the Winter Olympics in February because of Russia's anti-gay legislation.

Harry said at the time: "We feel very strongly about these friendships and associations, and don't feel good about participating in a situation where biases and prejudices are paramount."
