Cyndi Lauper announces farewell tour at age 70

Cyndi Lauper launched hits such as "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "True Colors." The 70-year-old's discography includes 12 studio albums and other music releases. The crowning achievement of her career will be this year's farewell tour.

Cyndi Lauper can confidently be called a colourful icon of the '80s. It was during that time that her career reached its peak. Thanks to her timeless hits and charisma, the American successfully continued her career even without new international hits. Besides being a singer, Lauper also fulfilled herself as an LGBTQ+ activist and a composer. She is the mastermind behind the cult musical "Kinky Boots."

Unlike her peers who began their musical journeys at the same time or even earlier, Cyndi Lauper does not intend to perform until the end of her days. The star has been gradually reducing her media presence for a while now. On Monday, just shy of three weeks before her 71st birthday, she announced that she will embark on her final career tour later this year.

Get ready to sing along to all your favorites and make some amazing memories, according to the singer's official Facebook profile.

A video that compiles archival footage from her interviews and performances promotes the farewell tour.

The tour will run from 18 October to 5 December. During this time, Lauper will play over 20 concerts in North America. The organiser has not revealed whether the artist plans to bid farewell to fans in Europe and other continents. However, it is known that special guests will accompany Cyndi on stage during the concerts. A host of music stars is expected to join her.

Cyndi Lauper's last tour does not mean she will entirely retreat from the spotlight. The star will likely still be involved in music from behind the scenes.
