Cyndi Lauper breaks silence on 'difficulties' at Glastonbury after crowd 'walked out'

Cyndi Lauper has cited “technical” difficulties during her performance at Glastonbury 2024. The ’80s pop icon, who has also announced her farewell tour, performed on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday afternoon.

But after singing her anthem ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’, the festival-goers noticeably left her show. A Mirror reporter at the venue observed Cyndi looking rather dejected as the crowd thinned out.

The 71-year-old American singer told BBC Breakfast she had microphone issues, as well as her trousers falling down. Asked if she had fun on the show, Lauper replied: “Yeah, I did, I mean, I had some technical issues, some wardrobe difficulties, but I had fun.

“Sometimes you’re up there and the sound is like ‘Whoa.’ But (it) doesn’t matter because the spirit… is there and it was great.”

She also mentioned that her silver pants were “falling down”, which caused her problems moving around on stage. But Cyndi shrugged it off, saying, “What are you going to do? (There was) a wardrobe issue there, but it was okay. »

Cyndi’s sound issues quickly disappeared during her set. One fan wrote on Twitter: “Cyndi Lauper is having a bit of a hard time at #Glastonbury – the crowd are giving her a big helping hand. She looks fantastic, and it’s easy to forget she’s 71. We had Blondie doing it this time last year, and Debbie Harry was 77 at the time.”

Another wrote: “I wonder if Cyndi Lauper’s band has issues with in-ear monitoring delay. Cyndi seems to be singing half a beat behind everyone else, and they all feel oddly disjointed, especially for an American session band.”
