Two sold-out nights in Chrissie Hynde's hometown of Akron were followed by a show at a baseball stadium.

They'll also appear as support for Foo Fighters in several American cities this year.

The sudden death of their guitarist James Honeyman-Scott was a huge blow to the band.

"You would not believe how entitled some people think they are," Pretenders leader says.

Twelfth LP from Chrissie Hynde's band includes ballads, rockers and Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood.

Deep-cut set included songs from all but two of their albums.

Pretenders frontwoman was at the university in May 1970 when the National Guard shot four students.

It's the third track released from their upcoming album 'Relentless.'

They'll supplement their opening slots for Guns N' Roses with solo club dates.

Upcoming album 'Relentless' now pushed back to later in September.

Carrie Underwood, the Warning and Dirty Honey will also appear as support on the trek.

It's the first single from band's upcoming 12th album, 'Relentless,' due in September.

"It’s absolutely nothing to do with rock ‘n’ roll and anyone who thinks it is is a fool."

They'd just been forced to fire their bassist when the band's guitarist died.
