Chrissie Hynde Calls It Quits When She Smells The Burger Van

The Pretenders have just released a CD and DVD package, Pretenders:Live in London, which was filmed at Shepherds Bush Empire in 2009 by Pierre and Francois Lamoureux.
Chrissie Hynde interviewed with Stuff.co.nz about The Pretenders upcoming tour in Australia and New Zealand, where she confirmed that it only takes the smell of a sirloin to get her out of the mood during a concert.
“I start getting in a really bad mood and start thinking about slaughterhouses and I can’t concentrate,” Hynde said.
This unfortunately leads to a little abuse on the fans from Chrissie.
“And then I start berating the audience and calling them meat-eaters and when someone pays to come and see you they don’t really want you to tell them to f**k off.”
In the past, Chrissie has prevented both becoming nauseous from meat smells and giving her fans verbal tirades by asking the concession stands not to serve meat at her concerts, even offering fake versions of traditional sandwiches made with plant protein such as seitan.
Here’s hoping for Chrissie and everyone else’s sake that any supporting or opening act on the upcoming tour will respect her beliefs and nose.
“As much as I might like the band we’re supporting, if I don’t like their catering … it ruins my show if I can smell a burger van from the stage, the show’s over for me.”
