Cyndi Lauper<\/strong> has been a star for more than 40 years, but in all that time, she’s only ever done one headlining arena tour \u2014 which is why she’s so excited for her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, launching Oct. 24.<\/p>\n

Speaking to People<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Cyndi\u00a0says that in the ’80s, when she first started out, “I was an opener for other acts at arenas, then I got to do one big tour for myself. Then I got pregnant with my son, and I was worried I couldn\u2019t do a whole show, so I went back to being an opener again.”<\/p>\n

She laughs, “So watch out, kids, once an opener, always an opener!”<\/p>\n

Cyndi, who tells People<\/em> that the ’80s feel\u00a0“like a million years ago,” also shares that as she prepares for the road, she’s trying not to feel her age \u2014 which, for the record, is 71.<\/p>\n

“It f****** sucks,” she says of aging. She laughs, “Like in [the song] ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’\u2014 you could even say it blows!”<\/p>\n

“What you need to do is take care of yourself,” she adds. “That\u2019s the major thing. I try to force myself to do something \u2014 the bike, the walking, the weights, the yoga. Yoga\u2019s great, because it just puts you in a zone mentally. But who wants to get old and decrepit? Nobody! But the trick is, I guess, not to get too<\/em> decrepit.”<\/p>\n
