Music superstar Cyndi Lauper is closing out her year-long Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour with the kind of all-star sendoff only she could inspire — and she’s doing it in style with a little help from fellow icon Cher.
CBS will air A Grammy Salute to Cyndi Lauper: Live From the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, October 5, from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT and stream the next day on Paramount+.
