Last night, at the annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony<\/a> in Cleveland, Ohio, Cyndi Lauper<\/a> was inducted by Chappell Roan<\/a>. Afterwards, the \u201980s pop star performed a medley of career-spanning hits with accompaniment from Avril Lavigne<\/a>, Raye<\/a>, and others to celebrate the occasion. Watch a replay of those moments below.<\/p>\n While inducting Lauper, Roan shared that she covered \u201cTrue Colors\u201d during a singing competition as a child, and has held Lauper\u2019s music close ever since then. \u201cIt\u2019s that courage that not only creates incredible art that gives everyone who experiences it the permission to be themselves \u2014 it opens their hearts, it changes their mind, and that is its power,\u201d she said of Lauper. \u201cTonight, we honor a woman who redefined what a pop star could look like, sound like, and be.\u201d<\/p>\n Lauper then took the stage to perform a collection of her songs, beginning with \u201cTrue Colors\u201d as a solo effort. Afterwards, she sang her massive 1984 hit \u201cTime After Time\u201d with accompaniment by British singer Raye, before welcoming Lavigne over for \u201cGirls Just Wanna Have Fun.\u201d During the end of the latter track, Lauper encouraged audience members to sing along and brought Salt-n-Pepa onstage to join in.<\/p>\n Afterwards, Lauper gave a speech to recognize her induction to the Rock Hall and thank her supporters. \u201cI just want to say that I stand on the shoulders of the women who came before me, and my shoulders are broad enough to have the women who came after me stand on mine,\u201d she said. \u201cThe little kid in me still believes that rock \u2018n\u2019 roll can save the world. I just want to say now of all time, let\u2019s come together again and do good in the world because it needs us.\u201d<\/p>\n This year\u2019s other Rock Hall inductees<\/a> are the White Stripes<\/a>, OutKast<\/a>, Soundgarden, Warren Zevon, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, and Joe Cocker.<\/p>\n
