“show insano! chrissie hynde the DIVA that you are!!”
“Chrissie Hynde just say you hate your fans and move on”
“So sad. One of her biggest fans who followed them around the world for years front row just died last month. People she's been throwing back are her grieving friends. Way to kick them when they're down.”
“Indeed. Do you know her? I last saw her just days before she was hit. ☹️”
“A massive exaggerated overreaction to the band having asked some fans who followed the band all tour to let some other people stand in the front. Whether she was wrong or not, it hardly equates to her hating the fans.”
