About this listen
Cyndi Lauper has been lighting up headlines in the past few days as her “Girls Just Want to Have Fun Farewell Tour” continues to sweep across North America, marking the end of an era for one of pop music’s most iconic voices. Fresh off performing at Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tinley Park on August 5, a performance that fans described as electrifying, she looks ahead to sold-out shows at major venues including Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in Salt Lake City on August 14, Cascades Amphitheatre in Ridgefield on August 17, Toyota Amphitheatre in Wheatland on August 23, and Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on August 24, with the final tour date scheduled for Los Angeles at the end of August. Each show on this final run is more than just a concert—it’s a multimedia spectacle complete with vivid costumes, hair color and backdrop changes, and a mostly female backing band, raising the bar for live performance even at 72 years old, as described in Chico News & Review.
But Lauper is making waves for more than music. She’s the cover feature in multiple August publications, including Out Front Magazine, celebrating her lifelong activism and her push for fundamental rights, particularly for women and LGBTQ+ communities. Her Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund, created in partnership with the Tide Foundation and heavily promoted at her shows, fights for abortion access and gender-affirming care in the wake of shifts in US law, amplifying her reputation as a tireless advocate. Lauper’s work with her True Colors United continues to draw attention to youth homelessness, with her face and comments showing up across major platforms in conjunction with the ongoing tour.
There’s also talk in the business world, with platforms like The Handbook reporting a rise in commercial enquiries and event appearance requests, making her ever more in demand for business partnerships and brand collaborations. Her long marriage to David Thornton—and honest, unfiltered interviews about aging and her philosophy on life—have endeared her to fans as relatable and inspiring, with AOL and People drawing attention to her candidness and family-first priorities.
Recent interviews, both in print and on classic hits radio such as the August 6 Greg Browning show, highlight the biographical milestone of her Hall of Fame induction and document her emotional reflections on the journey from opener to headlining arenas worldwide. And, not to be missed, Lauper’s life story is reaching new audiences through “Let The Canary Sing,” a documentary currently making waves and further sealing her legacy as a pioneer for both music and societal change.
On social media, fans have flooded Instagram and YouTube with clips of her recent shows, ensuring Cyndi Lauper’s bold spirit and message are trending well beyond the stage. At nearly fifty years into her career, she proves again that her true colors never fade.
