Cyndi Lauper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

It has been a brilliant and emotional few days for Cyndi Lauper as the final leg of her Girls Just Want to Have Fun Farewell Tour sweeps through North America. Lauper’s conceptual spectacle hit Ridgefield on August 17 at the Cascades Amphitheatre with support from Jake Wesley Rogers, drawing thousands for a night that drenched fans in nostalgia and gratitude. Multiple reports highlight the hypnotic power of Lauper’s voice, now 72 but utterly undiminished, her stage presence leaping between costume changes, elaborate set visuals, and poignant monologues, all while the crowd sang back every word according to Ridgefield Amphitheatre. Lauper herself told Outfront Magazine this tour means more than ever, and she has been brought to tears at most shows as fans’ devotion lands with full force.

In a notable philanthropic twist, merch booths and social media have been alive with her Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights campaign, raising funds for reproductive health and gender-affirming care via custom t-shirts and memorabilia according to both Out in Jersey and Outfront Magazine. Lauper’s social media channels have been sharing backstage looks, clips from concerts, and enthusiastic reminders about her fund’s charitable arm.

The tour’s next dates are generating buzz, with her anticipated appearance August 23 at Toyota Amphitheatre in Wheatland, California, promising another sellout according to Chico News & Review. A massive show at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on August 24 has also made headlines, with tickets selling rapidly in what promoters call a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness not just the music, but the artistry and social message Lauper breathes into each performance.

On television, she recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, holding viewers with her heartfelt candor and legendary wit, according to TV Insider and TV Regular. The episode mixed politics and pop culture as Lauper discussed both her musical legacy and current activism, underscoring why she remains a cherished voice for change.

Perhaps the long-term headline fans will remember most is her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Ryan Seacrest announced on American Idol that Lauper will be honored at the 2025 ceremony, an overdue recognition of a trailblazer whose influence, both musical and cultural, is incalculable according to IMDB and TV Insider. As her tour barrels towards its celebratory final shows in Concord and Los Angeles, Lauper’s refrain—use your big mouth for something good—rings as true as ever. If there’s any speculation floating about retirement, the artist herself has said she is not quitting music, just saying goodbye to big arena tours, insisting her plans involve more advocacy and creative work. The very latest social buzz repeats what audiences already know: Cyndi Lauper is having her moment, and the world is joyously singing along.
