The Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde has issued somewhat of an apology to fans after sharing a set of rules for returning concertgoers.In October, Hynde drew the ire of fans when she asked that fans who purchase tickets to multiple concerts don’t take up space in the front row so “local” fans have a chance to be up front.At the time, Hynde wrote: “When we go on tour, the whole point of it for the band is that we are playing to a different audience every night. That’s why we go on tour!”Naturally, the post didn’t go down well with fans, who took to social media to argue that fans who pay for freestanding tickets should be able to watch the show from the front row if they so please.Now, Hynde has addressed her initial comments in a new Instagram post, where she partially apologised for asking fans to put their phones away: “First of all, I’m sorry that I’ve never adjusted to the phone/filming/picture taking culture.
