Bring Ya to the Brink Tour

The Bring Ya To The Brink Tour was a worldwide concert tour by American singer-songwriter and actress Cyndi Lauper to support her album Bring Ya to the Brink. It was the tenth official Cyndi Lauper's own tour that she was promoting an album. The shows were in Australia, Japan, Europe and South America, with over 40 concerts in 22 countries. Lauper raised more than 30 million dollars with this tour. In the UK, her opening act was Jessie J who later joined Cyndi on stage to sing with her on Girls Just Want To Have Fun. The North American (United States and Canada) leg of this tour was covered by her True Colors 2008 tour in the summer of 2008 where she performed an almost identical set to promote Bring Ya to the Brink.
