Last night, at the annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio, Cyndi Lauper was inducted by Chappell Roan. Afterwards, the ’80s pop star performed a medley of career-spanning hits with accompaniment from Avril Lavigne, Raye, and others to celebrate the occasion. Watch a replay of those moments below.
While inducting Lauper, Roan shared that she covered “True Colors” during a singing competition as a child, and has held Lauper’s music close ever since then. “It’s that courage that not only creates incredible art that gives everyone who experiences it the permission to be themselves — it opens their hearts, it changes their mind, and that is its power,” she said of Lauper. “Tonight, we honor a woman who redefined what a pop star could look like, sound like, and be.”
Lauper then took the stage to perform a collection of her songs, beginning with “True Colors” as a solo effort. Afterwards, she sang her massive 1984 hit “Time After Time” with accompaniment by British singer Raye, before welcoming Lavigne over for “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” During the end of the latter track, Lauper encouraged audience members to sing along and brought Salt-n-Pepa onstage to join in.
Afterwards, Lauper gave a speech to recognize her induction to the Rock Hall and thank her supporters. “I just want to say that I stand on the shoulders of the women who came before me, and my shoulders are broad enough to have the women who came after me stand on mine,” she said. “The little kid in me still believes that rock ‘n’ roll can save the world. I just want to say now of all time, let’s come together again and do good in the world because it needs us.”
This year’s other Rock Hall inductees are the White Stripes, OutKast, Soundgarden, Warren Zevon, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, and Joe Cocker.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony just got a lot more crowded. Ahead of the Nov. 8 extravaganza in Los Angeles, 17 additional presenters and performers have been confirmed, including Chappell Roan, the Killers, Donald Glover, Jim Carrey, Avril Lavigne and Janelle Monáe.
The list is rounded out by Bryan Adams, En Vogue, Feist, Gina Schock, Hurby Luv Bug Azor, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, the Revolution’s Lisa Coleman, Mick Fleetwood, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, Nathaniel Rateliff and Tedeschi Trucks Band. Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell and the Pretty Reckless’ Taylor Momsen are expected to perform with Soundgarden, based on rehearsal photos from drummer Matt Cameron on Instagram.
Roan will induct Cyndi Lauper, saying yesterday on social media that the artist “has inspired me with her fashion and her hair, and of course, her makeup, her music. I actually auditioned with ‘True Colors’ for America’s Got Talent when I was 13. I didn’t make it, but the song is still incredible. I’m so excited. Thanks for having me.”
Beyond Soundgarden and Lauper, this year’s induction class is comprised of Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Outkast and the White Stripes. The event will be streamed live on Disney+. Next-day viewing will be available on Hulu, with an ABC special to follow on Jan. 1.
Among the previously announced performers and presenters are Beck, Brandi Carlile, David Letterman, Doja Cat, Elton John, Flea, Iggy Pop, J.I.D, Killer Mike, Maxwell, Missy Elliott, Olivia Rodrigo, Questlove, Raye, Sleepy Brown, Teddy Swims and Twenty One Pilots.
Outside the core inductions, Salt-N-Pepa and the late Warren Zevon will receive the Musical Influence Award, while hit-making R&B producer Thom Bell and studio musicians Nicky Hopkins and Carol Kaye will be honored with the Musical Excellence Award. The Ahmet Ertegun Award for impactful, non-performing industry professionals will be presented to former Warner Bros. Records president/DreamWorks co-founder Lenny Waronker.
Some of the biggest names in music will head south next spring as part of Lollapalooza festival visits to Chile, Argentina and Brazil, including Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler, the Creator, Chappell Roan, Deftones, Skrillex, Lorde and Doechii.
