Quantcast Vegetarian StarChrissie Hynde Finds Singing Hard When Smelling Burnt Flesh

Farm Sanctuary Gala 2004

The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde has never been one to keep her mouth shut, especially when it comes to her veganism and animal rights views.

One day she was performing at a concert with Neil Young when she expressed her disgust with the aroma coming from the venue’s concession stands.

“I’m trying very hard not to say anything about the fact that all I can smell is burning flesh,” she was quoted as saying.

There are a lot of bad things you can smell at a concert-too much beer ,cigarette stench, and B.O. For the vegetarian, add the neighbor in the next seat’s fried chicken fingers to that list.

Hynde may not be able to avoid the smell of burnt animal flesh at concert venues, but she’s trying hard to make sure dead animal is not roasting backstage. She has expressed her preference not to tour with meat eaters so she doesn’t have to share the catering with them.
