On this day in 1983: The Pretenders bass player Pete Farndon died from a drug overdose. He was fired from the group on June 14th 1982, (two days before Pretenders guitarist James Honeyman-Scott was found dead of heart failure). Farndon was in the midst of forming a new band with former Clash drummer Topper Headon when he died.

On this day in 1984: Kenny Loggins began his third and final week at #1 on the U.S. singles chart with ‘Footloose.’ It would be ranked the #4 song for the entire year of 1984 behind Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry’, Tina Turner’s ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ and Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson’s ‘Say Say Say.’ It would be ranked the #63 song for the entire 80s decade by Billboard.
