Also known for songs such as True Colors and All Through the Night, the two-time Grammy winner will start her tour at the Bell Centre in Montreal in Canada’s Quebec province. She’ll later make her way to Madison Square Garden in her hometown New York City on October 30, and will eventually reach her last stop at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
Throughout her tour, Lauper will be joined by special guests, who will be announced at a later date, Live Nation said in a press release last week.
A documentary exploring Lauper’s life and career will also air on Paramount in the US and Canada.
Directed by Alison Ellwood, Let the Canary Sing chronicles Lauper’s rise to stardom, her ever-evolving and influential punk-style, and her advocacy work, according to the release.

Kravitz waits for the right person

Lenny Kravitz’s, pictured, leather pants continue to stay on.
In a recently published interview with The Guardian, Kravitz opened about discovering that his father was having an affair, a story recounted in his 2020 memoir. His father, he said, told him he too would end up cheating on his spouse.
“He became right. After the marriage (to actress Lisa Bonet), I became more like him,” Kravitz told The Guardian. “I was becoming a player.” The Grammy-winning singer and guitarist ended up divorcing Bonet in 1993 and discussed how he felt about his cheating ways.
“I didn’t like it. I didn’t want to be that guy,” he said.
“So I had to tackle that and it took years.” That meant “taking responsibility,” he said, adding he had to have “discipline” and not let “my own desires take over.” – CNN

Eminem releases new single

Slim Shady is back, back again. But, apparently, not for long.
Eminem, pictured, appears to be killing off his alter ego in his latest project, an album titled, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace).
He has dropped the album’s first single, Houdini, which samples the Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit, #Abracadabra. His lyrics take aim at several people, including Megan Thee Stallion and even himself.
“If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me, would I really have a shot at a feat?” he raps, referencing Tory Lanez shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in 2020, a crime for which Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Eminem also released a music video for the song in which he gets a little help from some of his celebrity friends. – CNN
