US pop star Cyndi Lauper enlisted the help of famous friends Cher and Bebe Rexha to celebrate the “surreal” moment she had her hands and footprints enshrined on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The 70-year-old appeared at a ceremony outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, which coincided with the release of a new documentary about her career titled Let The Canary Sing in the US.
