The Pretenders

A British-American rock band formed in March 1978. The band's original lineup consisted of founder and lead songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). After the death of Honeyman-Scott in 1982 and Farndon in 1983, the band underwent numerous personnel changes; Hynde was the only permanent member of the group.
