Cyndi Lauper has a major reason to celebrate. She is headed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of its Class of 2025.
She is a Grammy, Emmy, and Tony award-winning singer, songwriter, and performing artist with global record sales in excess of 50 million units.
Ms. Lauper will be inducted in its “Performers” category, alongside Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes.
The 2025 induction ceremony will take place this November in Los Angeles.
On this tremendous honor, Lauper remarked on social media, “I’m humbled to be in the company of so many of my heroes — Aretha, Tina, Chaka, Joni, Wanda, to name just a few.”
“Women have made so many important contributions to music and to rock n’ roll and a win for one of us is a win for all of us,” she acknowledged.
“Thank you to the voting members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for this honor. And thank you to my fans for supporting me throughout my career. I could not do any of this without you,” she said, effusively.
Her international “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour,” where she is playing famous arenas and amphitheaters, launched last fall and continues this summer.
A final leg of 25 North American shows begins on July 15. The cross-continent tour, part of her first major headlining run in a decade, includes two nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on August 29 and 30, as well as a concert at Jones Beach in Wantagh on Long Island, New York, on July 19th.
