Yahoo Lifestyle Cyndi Lauper Makes Bold Claim About Weight Loss Goals: 'Clothes Aren't Made for Big Girls'
Cyndi Lauper is apparently trying to get ahead of any rumor she's used Ozempic or drugs like it for weight loss.
While discussing her farewell tour, the 71-year-old revealed that she is prepping for the overseas leg of her ongoing concert series with a special diet, emphasizing any changes to her figure are the natural result of lifestyle changes and not controversial weight loss drugs.
As for why Lauper is even addressing the subject, it's because the topic arose during an interview she arranged with The Sunday Times.
"I’m a little fat for what I do," she boldly shared with the outlet in an interview published on Sunday, Feb. 2. "You see how thin everybody is now and the clothes aren’t made for big girls."
"I don't want to wear a girdle and be squeezed like a sausage when I sing," she explained, adding that she "won’t do the Ozempic thing," either, hence why she's sticking to a strict regimen that doesn't allow her to eat after 6 p.m.
"Do you think we have time to order some borscht?" Lauper joked.
The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour kicked off in Canada in October and made its way across the U.S. this past fall. Lauper is scheduled to continue performing through the rest of the year, with the European leg of the tour starting on Saturday, Feb. 8, in Glasgow, Scotland.
After making stops in Manchester, London, Belfast, Budapest, Prague, Berlin and Paris, Lauper will head to Australia for five dates in early April before concluding the farewell tour with three concerts in Japan at the end of that month.
