Artist Bio:
The Pretenders are a British-American rock band formed in Hereford, England, in 1978. The band's original lineup consisted of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Chrissie Hynde, lead guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, bassist Pete Farndon, and drummer Martin Chambers. They achieved commercial success with their self-titled debut album in 1980, which included hits like "Brass in Pocket" and "Stop Your Sobbing".
Despite various lineup changes and the deaths of Honeyman-Scott and Farndon in the early 1980s due to drug-related incidents, the Pretenders continued to release music and tour throughout the years. Chrissie Hynde remains the only original member of the band. The Pretenders have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and have released numerous albums, with their music often blending elements of punk rock, pop, and new wave.
