Cyndi Lauper breaks silence after concerns from Glastonbury fans

Cyndi Lauper has hit out after appearing upset when fans were seen leaving her Glastonbury set on Saturday.

The American singer, who is due to carry out a farewell tour of the UK next year, performed on the Pyramid stage on Saturday and was plagued by mic problems during the initial performance.

At one point, as she hesitated, Lauper told the crowd it was “kind of crazy” and declared that we had “a hole here,” while sounding increasingly frustrated with the sound and staging.

When asked by BBC Breakfast if she had fun, Lauper replied: “Yes, I did, I mean I had a few technical problems, some wardrobe difficulties, but I had fun .”

Cyndi said she didn’t want to be too harsh on the “technical difficulties” because she felt it wasn’t important to the vibe of the festival. “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 insisted.

Lauper added that her silver pants, which were part of an outfit that included a silver bodice and a jacket with a blue tulle train, “fell down” while she sang. This created difficulties when she tried to move around the stage and energize the crowd.

“What are you going to do? (There was a) wardrobe difficulty there but it was okay,” she added.

During her hit song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, the sound got better and she called for action to protect women’s “reproductive rights.” She told Glastonbury festival-goers: “It’s time for world leaders to understand that women make up half of the world’s population and that we deserve to be treated equally, no matter where we come from or what we are like.” we resemble. »

Lauper also sang his biggest hits Time After Time, Money Changes Everything, True Colors and I Drove All Night.
