Teilen
Pretenders-Sängerin Chrissie Hynde wurde am 7. September 70 Jahre alt. Sie gehörte 1978 zur Gründungsbesetzung und ist bis heute das einzige verbliebene Mitglied aus dieser Zeit. Stilistisch wurden die Pretenders dem New Wave zugerechnet, sind heute aber eher eine klassische Rockband. In Großbritannien waren die Pretenders vor allem in den 80s extrem erfolgreich. Hier landeten sie mit ihrer Single “Brass In Pocket“ auch eine Nummer eins. In den USA konnte sich die Band zumindest in der ersten Hälfte der Achtziger mit ihren Alben in den Top Ten festsetzen. In Deutschland flogen die Pretenders unterm Radar, kamen 1986 mit “Don‘t Get Me Wrong“ lediglich bis auf Platz 45.
