Her hits with worldwide success have made her a punk and feminist icon: today aged 71, Cyndi Lauper, the interpreter of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (1983), decided it was time to say goodbye. She plans to say her goodbyes in music, with a world tour which will begin in North America from October, before reaching Europe in February, she announced to AFP . She will be at the Accor Arena in Paris on February 28.
For generations of men and women, she remained the woman with the long blonde mane and irreverent attitude. In total, she has sold more than 50 million albums thanks to hits like Time After Time And True Colors. More discreet in recent years, in 2013 she won the Tony Award (rewarding American theater) for the soundtrack of the Broadway musical Kinky Boots.
“I haven’t won many Grammys, probably because I never counted to 10 before speaking – maybe that would have been a good idea“, she responded to AFP. And to those who think that her hits are no longer in tune with the times in concert, Cyndi Lauper responds: “what people really come for is a taste of the past. They want to hear what they remember.“
The announcement of this farewell tour coincides with the launch of a documentary on Cyndi Lauper’s career. Titled Let the Canary Sing, it looks back on the life, the unique style and the meteoric career of the singer in the 80s. The film has been available since Wednesday June 5 on the Paramount+ streaming platform.
