Only one one month into the New Year and Chrissie Hynde is already tired of being home.
She writes on Facebook, “I don’t know about you, but I’m finding life not being on tour quite challenging.
“I understand completely why people follow bands around on tour. If I wasn’t in a band, it’s probably exactly what I’d been doing myself because nothing beats moving and seeing new places. I just love it and I miss it.
“Still, you’ve gotta come off the road once in a while so you can remember how to live. Slow down a bit. Recharge the batteries.
“Well, we have no plans for touring at the moment, but you’ll be the first to know when we do.
“I’m wondering who Pretenders fans are following in our absence?
“Well, don’t get too cozy because we miss you.”
And, while she’s sitting at home in England, she also says she’s “feeling bad for turning down people who want selfies or things signed. It’s part of the discipline for me to be able to handle being on the road.”
She even remembers one fan in particular, a gentleman outside the hotel they were staying at in Mexico City.
“If you’re still speaking to me, let me know if you’re all right. (However, I still won’t sign anything or do selfies)!”
The Pretenders last show was in July 2025 in London.
