Cyndi Lauper Performs With Joni Mitchell, Cher, SZA at Final Farewell Show

John Legend also joins singer onstage as the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour concludes Saturday at the Hollywood Bowl

Cyndi Lauper performed the last show of her farewell tour Saturday at the Hollywood Bowl, where guests like Joni Mitchell, Cher, SZA and more helped send off the singer onstage.

Mitchell, in only her second public live appearance of 2025, first joined Lauper for a rendition of “Carey,” the Blue classic that Lauper herself had covered a dozen or so times in concert, including at a 2000 tribute concert for Mitchell:

For the next song, Lauper was joined onstage by John Legend, who assisted the singer on her hit “Time After Time”: 

The encores featured two more surprise guests: First, SZA came out for the Lauper’s “True Colors,” while the final song of the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour was, fittingly, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” with none other than Lauper’s friend and former tour mate Cher joining her onstage for the finale:

In an interview with Rolling Stone last fall, Lauper said of the farewell tour, “Oh gosh, it’s a bucket list. I haven’t done an arena tour since ‘86. I’m excited because I get to have all these fantastic young women on tour with me. So many years, I was told I can’t do a women’s tour because nobody will go see it. ‘Women don’t sell like men sell.’ Then I toured with Cher and we played for a million people. So bullshit.”

Previous guests on the farewell tour included Sam Smith, Hayley Williams, and Mickey Guyton, who cameoed at the penultimate show at the Hollywood Bowl.

Despite the farewell, Lauper will next take the stage, presumably, at her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction later this year.

Cyndi Lauper performed the final show of her farewell tour at the Hollywood Bowl last night (August 30), and she was joined on stage by special guests Joni Mitchell, Cher, John Legend and SZA.

Earlier this year, Lauper announced that she would wrap up the final leg of her North American ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ farewell tour with two shows at the Hollywood Bowl on August 29 and 30.

Fans were speculating whether she would do anything special to mark the culmination of the tour, and she surprised the audience by bringing out special guests, including Joni Mitchell, Cher, John Legend and SZA.

Mitchell joined the pop musician for a rendition of ‘Carey’. This marks Mitchell’s second public appearance in 2025. Later, John Legend came on stage to duet ‘Time After Time’.  The encore featured SZA, who joined Lauper for ‘True Colours’. It ended with Cher surprising the attendees by joining Cyndi for a duet of ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’.

Elsewhere, singer-songwriter Jake Wesley Rogers, who was the support act, joined for a cover of The Brains’ ‘Money Changes Everything’.

Watch some fan-captured footage of these duets, and check out the full set list below.

The ‘Goonies R Good Enough’ singer previously embarked on a North American farewell tour late last year. The run of dates saw her bring out Sam Smith at her Madison Square Garden show in NYC to perform a duet of her hit track ‘Time After Time’. She also brought out Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams at her show in Nashville for a duet of ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’.

She also opened up about why she decided to have a farewell tour while appearing as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

While she clarified that she’s by no means retiring, Lauper has ruled out “the trains, planes and automobiles”, suggesting that she’s open to the occasional hometown performance. She explained further: “I want to do an arena tour… I’m strong now, but I don’t know what I’m going to be like in four years.”

Shortly after, Lauper acknowledged her age by getting off her seat to mimic herself using a walker. “For me, I wanted to have a chance to do this when I’m feeling strong. I want to celebrate with people. Really celebrate with people, and make it fun.”

In other news, Lauper was recently nominated to be inducted into the 2025 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Popular David Mitchell series confirmed to not return for new episodes

Alongside Mitchell, other comedians who featured in the show included Alan Davies, Kerry Godliman, Ed Gamble, Jessica Hynes and Judi Love.

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival 2025, Hilary Rosen, director of commissioning at UKTV, explained that the series would not be returning.

“It is not currently returning, and we have announced that,” confirmed Rosen. “Would we look at that show again in the future? Maybe. Not currently. [David] loved doing it. We loved working with him.

“We definitely would be interested in other ideas with David Mitchell – we have a fantastic relationship with him.”

After calling him a “stunning” talent, Rosen was keen on “fresh new interesting ideas” with Mitchell, but noted that he was “pretty busy” and a “difficult man to get a lunch appointment with”.

Speaking about the Taskmaster comparisons to the show back in 2021, Mitchell told RadioTimes.com: “Greg Davies is a very funny man but I don’t think he was my inspiration as a judge, because I couldn’t do that.

“He’s very funny being the strong, fearless, arbitrary authority figure and that’s just not my persona. I pretty much tried to take my role as chairman on The Unbelievable Truth on Radio 4 as my starting point; a slightly befuddled, irascible and indecisive leader rather than the guillotine slice of Greg Davies on Taskmaster.”

Of course, Mitchell’s prolific career continues in earnest, with fans delighted to learn his crime series Ludwig was renewed by the BBC for a second season late last year.
