From Wikipedia:

Christine Ellen Hynde (born September 7, 1951) is an American-British singer, songwriter, and musician. She is a founding member of the rock band the Pretenders and is the band’s lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter. Hynde is the band’s only original member and is the only continuous member of the Pretenders, having appeared on every studio album released by the band.

Hynde formed the Pretenders in Hereford, England, in 1978, with Pete Farndon, James Honeyman-Scott, and Martin Chambers. She has also recorded a number of songs with other musicians, including Frank Sinatra, Cher, and UB40. Hynde recorded her first solo album, Stockholm, in 2014. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 as a member of the Pretenders. […]

On April 10, 1999, Chrissie Hynde led the memorial concert “Here, There and Everywhere – A Concert for Linda” for her late close friend Linda McCartney at the Royal Albert Hall, London. Proceeds went to animal rights charities.

In 2026, along with Sharleen Spiteri, she sung backing vocals on Paul McCartney’s track “Home To Us“.

From Chrissie Hynde, 1994 – ‘If you made that little change in your diet you’d be helping people to live’ – YouTube:

In 1994, Chrissie Hynde recorded an environmental message which was included in a 13-part US radio series presented and created by Paul McCartney called Oobu Joobu. The show gave a unique insight into Paul’s world, featuring rehearsals, demos, unreleased recordings, conversations and cameos from many of Paul’s friends, and highlighted campaigns close to Paul’s heart such as vegetarianism. This message, newly visualised by Meat Free Monday, highlights how so much of the world’s edible crops, such as corn and soya, are fed to livestock and suggests meat reduction as a way to help feed more people.

From (96) Current Paul McCartney news thread (interviews, articles, miscellaneous) | Page 523 | Steve Hoffman Music Forums:

This audio clip did appear on the Oobu Joobu program (episode 5 I think) and also was on the Oobu Joobu Ecology CD…but it did not have the music underneath and there was no phasing sound on Chrissie’s voice.

They’ve dropped in that same bit of recently unearthed Jeff Beck/Paul music that was used for the previously unreleased Jeff Beck statement.

So this technically is a new “mix” of the audio clip. There’s also about 10 more seconds of music than the Jeff Beck video.
