TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Legendary pop icon Cyndi Lauper is out to have fun again this fall with her newly announced farewell tour.

Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” Tour will begin on Oct. 18 – four decades after her 1983 breakthrough solo album “She’s So Unusual” – with her performing at the Centre Bell in Montreal.

The 70-year-old award-winning singer-songwriter rose to fame in the 1980s with such hits as “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” and “Time After Time.”

Earlier this year, Lauper entered a partnership with the Swedish masterminds behind the immersive virtual concert ABBA Voyage that involved the acquisition of a majority share of her music. The aim was to develop new ways to bring Lauper’s music to fans and younger audiences through new performances and live experiences.

Lauper has long advocated for women’s rights and gender equality, and her 1983 hit “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” reinvented by other female artists through the years, has become a feminist anthem. 

On Tuesday, Paramount+ is adding a feature-length music documentary on Lauper. “Let the Canary Sing” explores her rise to fame, her political activism, and most crucially, her hits.
