CHRISSIE HYNDE - HYNDE SNUBS HALL OF FAME HONOUR

HYNDE SNUBS HALL OF FAME HONOUR

Veteran rocker CHRISSIE HYNDE has taken aim at the organisers who inducted her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - insisting the honour fuels rivalry between musicians.
The Pretenders frontwoman was inducted with the group in 2005, but 57-year-old Hynde insists she had mixed feelings about accepting the accolade from high-powered music bosses.
She tells the New York Post, "I hate to be a spoilsport, but I don't like the way the music industry turns the music world into sports, as if it's competitive. I mean, if someone's in, then who's not in?
"You can't say how much music has affected or moved someone. It's just too personal. So I didn't feel too great about it."
