Cyndi Lauper didn’t need to say a word before the entire crowd of London’s Royal Albert Hall were on their feet, cheering and calling her a queen. Well, she is pop royalty, after all. “Alright, let’s get this party started,” she smirked.
Wednesday night’s gig was the first time Lauper had played in? London in eight years. The fiercely feel-good show gave her a chance to flex her muscles before a slot on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage this weekend and a farewell tour, which kicks off in October before touching down in the UK the following February. Based on that giddy performance, she’ll absolutely smash both.
