The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde promises that new music from the classic rock band is on the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In a statement posted on social media, Hynde tells listeners<\/a>\u00a0that she’s bene working on new music this spring and says that she and guitarist James Walbourne “have been meeting up daily and putting songs together for the next Pretenders album.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “This is the fun part\u2026 well apart from recording and touring,” she adds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This isn’t the first time she’s talked about new music.\u00a0In a prior statement in March<\/a>, Hynde said the album was “provisionally called Outlaw<\/em>” and that recording session were set to take place “in the next couple of months.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Switching gears, Hynde also talked about performing live. The\u00a0Pretenders’ last tour ended in May 2025, and Hynde says in her note that she’s already missing the experience of playing live and ready to get back to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “We are thinking of doing some shows next year,” she writes in\u00a0 the post. “I miss seeing you regulars.. even though I may have unwittingly offended you by asking you to move a couple rows back so I could see the locals.” That last part is a reference to a previous post<\/a> where the singer appeared to say he was tired of seeing the same fans in the front row over and over again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She adds in the post, “I hope you’ve gotten over it and forgiven me.. no offence was intended.. but when we travel for months on end, it’s necessary to keep things fresh by seeing new faces upfront.” She adds about longtime fans, “you know I love you, and can always find you in the audience, and I’m always looking for you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Pretenders’ news album will mark the band’s follow-up to 2023’s Relentless<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Anne Erickson started her radio career shortly after graduating from Michigan State University and has worked on-air in Detroit, Flint, Toledo, Lansing and beyond.
