Cyndi Lauper Announces Farewell Tour
Cyndi Lauper just wants to have fun — one last time. The”Time After Time” singer announced the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” farewell tour on Monday (June 3), kicking off later this year.
How To Get Tickets For The Farewell Tour
The 70-year-old artist, whose career spans more than half of her life, will begin her tour on October 18 in Montreal, Canada, before heading to the United States on October 24th in Detroit, Michigan. Lauper, who will be celebrating her 71st birthday later this month on June 22, will be making stops in major cities like Boston, Nashville, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Atlanta, her native New York City, and more before concluding in Chicago on December 5th.
Presale tickets will be available starting Tuesday, June 4th, followed by the general sale on Friday, June 7th.
Lauper recently was the subject of a documentary, Let the Canary Sing, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival last year. Paramount+ has acquired the Lauper documentary and has set the premiere date for June 4 — tomorrow — in the U.S. and Canada.
When she was first approached about the documentary, Lauper told USA Today at the time, “I said, ‘A documentary? I’m not dead yet!’ But if anybody was going to tell my story – the good, the bad, and the ugly; the missteps and the good steps; the triumphs and the not-so-triumphant – it would be [director] Alison Ellwood. She’s a wonderful filmmaker. I feel honored.”
Per Deadline, the documentary title stems from a lawsuit Lauper faced more than 40 years ago after she went solo following her time with the band Blue Angel. The judge who resolved the case said of Lauper, “Let the canary sing.”
