NEW YORK (AP) – Legendary rocker Chrissie Hynde was with the band. And not just as the sultry-voiced singer with the Pretenders, which won popularity decades ago with hits such as “Brass in Pocket” and “Ohio.”
Early in her life, Hynde fell in with a band of outlaw bikers. She wound up being beaten, robbed and raped, she says in an interview to air on this week’s “Sunday Morning” on CBS.
Hynde, 63, is philosophical about the assault.
“If you hung out with those guys, that’s what happened. That’s the way it was,” she says.
Hynde says she didn’t fear for her life, though she should have.
