There was exciting news released a few weeks ago; Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper are joining forces to tour together this summer! Here are a few fun facts about each…
Cyndi’s signature song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” was written by struggling song writer Robert Hazard in 1979. The song was about a dude’s point of view, but was rewritten to accommodate her version.
Yes, we all know that Rod is a huge soccer fan, but did you know that in the early days of touring Rod would physically kick soccer balls into the crowd? His lawyers made him stop a few years later.
In 2013, Cyndi earned a Tony Award for ‘Best Original Score’ for the Broadway musical ‘Kinky Boots.’
Rod has a son that is playing professional hockey in the NHL; Liam is in the Minnesota Wild farm system.
Cyndi Lauper received the ‘Best New Artist’ at the 1985 Grammy Awards. and has sold over 40 million records over her 30+ career.
Rod Stewart has a son who is a professional NHL player, currently serving his time in the minors.
