Chrissie Hynde opens up about sex, rape, drugs and everything else from her rock 'n' roll life in new book 'Reckless'
Chrissie Hynde makes no secret of her sordid past: Sex — lots of it. Drugs — smoked, snorted, swallowed. Rock and roll — she’s still out there playing.

“In the end, this story is a story of drug abuse,” writes the brutally honest Hynde, now 63 and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with her band The Pretenders.
Scattered throughout the book are tales of bold-faced pals turned drug casualties: John Belushi. Sid Vicious. And her two Pretenders bandmates, Pete Farndon and James Honeyman-Scott.
The autobiography caused a huge furor with Hynde’s insistence that she takes “full responsibility” for a brutal gang rape that she survived at the age of 21.
Hynde writes that she was “off my face” on Quaaludes when she hooked up with a biker gang in the elevator of the Cleveland municipal jail after visiting an inmate.
