The legend, who rose to fame with the Pretenders thanks to songs like "Back on the Chain Gang," "Don't Get Me Wrong," and "My Baby," continued her success with the band into the '90s with the groundbreaking ballad "I'll Stand by You." Flash forward to 2026, and Hynde is still thriving. The music master hit the red carpet this week alongside David Chase, creator of The Sopranos, to celebrate the launch of HBO Max at a special screening of The Sopranos in partnership with Empire at The Barbican in London. Now that's a dynamic duo! As any fan of the legendary HBO series knows, the music of the Pretenders was occasionally used throughout the series. Do yourself a favor and go watch the season 2 episode "House Arrest."
