Chrissie Hynde's 'ageless' appearance distracts Glastonbury fans
The Pretenders were the secret act at Glastonbury - and fans were in awe at how Chrissie Hynde is still rocking.
The Pretenders performed at this year's Glastonbury, leaving fans in shock at just how amazing Chrissie Hynde looks for her age.
The four-piece rock group was originally formed in 1978 and consisted of Chrissie and bassist Pete Farndon.
Although the band has experienced some changes in the line-up, the original member Chrissie is still performing today at the age of 71.
Taking to the Park stage the band went through their back catalogue of hits.
Chrissie however, was the star of the show as she looked effortlessly rock chic with a band tee-shirt, denim jeans, and over-the-knee black boots.

Total bad***. Love the @ThePretendersH. So good to hear performances of acts that have been around for a long time that still sound amazing!” (sic)

While @Lijoh1 echoed: “Chrissie Hynde still rocking it out at 71. Recognise that vocal anywhere #thepretenders #glastonbury2023 #Glastonbury”
But the surprises didn’t stop there as Chrissie also brought on stage The Smiths’ musician Johnny Marr who had a brief spell with the pretenders in the 1980s.
Before introducing the music legend to the stage, she said: “Glastonbury has so many memories but my favourite is seeing my guitar heroes.”
She named the band's guitarist James Walbourne as one of them before mentioning Marr as the other.
They then performed two of their classic hits, Don’t Get Me Wrong and Back On The Chain Gang.
As if the crowd thought the surprises were done, they then brought on Foo Fighters’ and Glasto regular Dave Grohl to end their performance.
Just before he joined them on stage, Chrissie once again addressed the audience saying “Apparently, there’s a drummer kicking around backstage” sending the crowd absolutely wild.
