The song was released in October, becoming their biggest success in the US staying at No. They re grouped, with Hynde continuing with the band recruiting Rockpile guitarist Billy Bremner and Big Country bassist, Tony Butler to record the single “Back on the Chain Gang”. This left The Pretenders with two living members. Farndon, was found dead the following year on April 14th 1983 by his American wife, Conover. It was a dark time for the band, with Farndon being fired by Hynde, and then two days later, on June 16th 1982, James Honeyman-Scott died of Heart failure as a result of cocaine intolerance. ![]() The second full-length album, “Pretenders II” was released on August 15th, 1981, and became such a huge success making it to number 7 in the UK Album Chart. Their self-titled debut album would go on to be named one of the best albums of all time by VH1. Their first single, a cover of The Kinks, “Stop Your Sobbing”, caught the attention of many, and then their following single “Brass in Pocket” released in January 1980 earned the band their first number 1 in the UK. They later became The Pretenders after the Platters song “The Great Pretender”. Adding Pete Farndon on bass, James Honeyman-Scott on guitar, and Gerry Mcilduff on drums, this band would go on to record five tracks at Regents Park Studio in July 1978, including “Stop Your Sobbing”. He saw the potential very early on, and suggested that Hynde should form a much more permanent band to record for his new label, Real Records. Hill was impressed by the result, so arranged a day of recording a Studio 51 to record another demo. He booked a rehearsal studio in Denmark Street, where a 3-piece band made up of Hynde, Mal Hart on bass an Phil Taylor of Motörhead on drums played a few of Hynde’s original songs. The Pretenders formed in 1978 after Dave Hill at Anchor Records heard a couple of Hynde’s demos.
