Cyndi Lauper Steps on Bee During Outdoor Concert — and Pulls Out Stinger While Singing

The Grammy, Emmy, and Tony winner, 66, was halfway through singing her 1983 classic “She Bop” when she stepped on a bee and suffered a nasty sting on the bottom of her left foot.

“I messed with the danger zone and I GOT STUNG!” Lauper teased on Instagram, captioning a video of the incident. “Maybe the nuns were right after all.”

In the clip, Lauper — dressed in a two-piece suit — can be seen inspecting the bottom of her bare foot while still singing the catchy lyrics to “She Bop.”

Afterward, she explains what happened to the audience. “The bee’s dead on the floor,” she says.

Throughout it all, Lauper appeared to maintain a good sense of humor. “I mean, that poor bastard, he’s worse off than me,” she says in the video, walking over to inspect the insect. “Yeah, he’s really dead. But you just had to bite me before you [went], huh?”

Friday was the first night of two back-to-back performances from Lauper at the Hollywood Bowl.

Selena Gomezand her mother and sister were among those in the audience.

Lauper’s last album was 2016’sDetour.The LP, Lauper’s eleventh studio album, featured her unique take on country classics like Patsy Cline’s “Walking After Midnight,” Dolly Parton’s “Hard Candy Christmas,” and Wanda Jackson’s “Funnel of Love.”
