The Pretenders got their start in England in 1978 and snagged three Top Ten albums (Pretenders, Pretenders II, and Learning to Crawl) and a number-one single ("Brass in Pocket') from 1979 to 1984.

The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

Lead singer Chrissie Hynde is the only original member still with the band. Guitarists James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon both passed away in the early 1980s. Original drummer Martin Chambers is not playing with the band on the upcoming tour.
