Cyndi Lauper Finally Enters the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

After two nominations, the '80s pop-rock icon joins legends in the 2025 Hall of Fame class

Cyndi Lauper finally gets the recognition she deserves.

After two previous nominations, Lauper lands her spot in the Hall of Fame’s 2025 lineup

Cyndi says she’s honored to join idols like Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin

From 1983’s She’s So Unusual to today, Cyndi’s sound and style shook up the music world.

She posted all the inductees and honored female pioneers who came before her

“I’ve been singing rock most of my life,” she told PEOPLE. Her sound? Unmistakable.

After exploding into stardom in the '80s, Cyndi admits she struggled with fame.

She believes every artist builds on those who came before. “We all stand on someone’s shoulders.”

Tune in Nov. 8 on Disney+ to watch Cyndi’s big moment — with an ABC special and Hulu stream coming soon after!
