Cyndi Lauper has been announced as an inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The 2025 induction ceremony will take place this November in Los Angeles.
Lauper said:
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. 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.
Lauper’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is the latest in what has been a tremendous past 12 months for the GRAMMY, EMMY and Tony-winning artist celebrated for her history-making albums, music videos, advocacy and ever-evolving style.
Her international Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour of famous arenas and amphitheatres launched last fall and continues this summer: a final leg of 25 North American shows begins 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 Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY on July 19.
