Cyndi and Sharon have been friends for years. The singer previously defended Sharon after her defense of Piers Morgan drew reports of racist behavior.
In 2021, Cyndi took to Instagram for a public statement of support in the wake of the firestorm surrounding Sharon, stating, “I wanted to come out publicly to support my friend.”
Cyndi’s film Let The Canary Sing – directed by Alison Ellwood – officially premiered on Paramount+ on Tuesday.
The premise is: “The journey of Cyndi Lauper, a unique artist, iconic performer and groundbreaking activist,” according to one official IMDB synopsis.
‘Over the years I’ve been asked to make a documentary about my life and work, but it never felt like the right time. Until now,” Lauper said per Deadline.
“When I first met Alison Ellwood, I immediately knew I could trust her to tell my story honestly, which was incredibly important to me, and she succeeded.”
The Girls Just Want To Have Fun hitmaker added: ‘I would like to thank Alison, the producers and all the wonderful documentary participants who agreed to be interviewed.’
Lauper spoke humorously about what prompted her to make a documentary The Hollywood Reporter last year in 2023: ‘My agent, my manager, my lawyer.’
“This was a perfect vehicle, that’s all. I just think sometimes a documentary helps show people how, because everyone starts with someone saying, “What are you going to do that for? Don’t do that. Get a real job.”
‘Or maybe they don’t say that anymore. Don’t know. Maybe parents don’t say that. But it’s so wonderful when you get to a point in your life where, when you go to the family gathering, and everyone questions you…

She continued, “And towards the end they want to know what you do and you try to explain it, and they always say, ‘Well, good luck with your job.’
“So instead of getting discouraged, it’s good to learn about someone else and see how he or she has made good and bad steps.”
Cyndi added, “Eventually you do get to where you’re supposed to be, and certain people come into your life and change it and help you in ways you didn’t think they could.”
Other celebrities attended the screening, including Emily Deschanel, who wowed in a short-sleeved dress with a blue pattern.

The tour spans 23 dates, kicking off later this year on October 18 in Montreal and ending on December 5 in Chicago.
During a job interview AP During the ceremony, Cyndi opened up about the decision to go on one final tour.
“Because this is the strongest I am, and in five years I don’t know where I’ll be. I still do my yoga… and you know, I work out, I do yoga, I do that [physical therapy]I do voice exercises.’
“But you know, I’m also into theater stuff, like Broadway shows. And that costs a lot,” the singer explained.
‘So I guess I’m not going to wait. I’m going to do it now because now is a good time to celebrate with everyone one last time on an arena tour that I haven’t done alone since the 80s.”
Although the current tour dates are in North America, Cyndi said, “My fans have been all over the world. You know, it costs a lot. But this is it.’
‘I’m going all over the world, I’m going to North America, I’m doing Europe, I’m doing Asia, I’m doing Australia and then South America. So I’m going to try to get the hemispheres in and say goodbye and thank you…’
