Of course, I'm talking about Cyndi Lauper whose very first hit out of the gate serves as the inspiration for her current gig on the road, the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour."

Lauper has had several hits outside of her girl empowerment anthem such as "Time After Time", "True Colors", "All Through The Night", "She Bop", "I Drove All Night", and "Money Changes Everything."

On Monday, Lauper announced the final leg of her "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour" with 25 more stops across America, but ONLY ONE of those stops will be in Massachusetts.

Lauper will be performing at Xfinity Center in Mansfield this summer on July 17th. It's actually the second stop of the extended leg of the tour (first stop will be in Buffalo, NY, on July 15th).

With the exception of a few more stops in New York (Bethel and Wantagh), that's pretty much it for concert stops in the Northeast. BTW, whether you're a Lauper fan or not, you should know that she puts on a heckuva show!

Tickets for the new dates go on sale this Friday, March 14th at 10 a.m. This could be quite the year for Lauper who is currently among this year's nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
