Cyndi Lauper was seen looking as eccentric as ever as she sported a multicolored suit and a bright purple mohawk during a performance at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, this week.

The 69-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down and is currently on tour with legendary rock musician Rod Stewart, 78.

Lauper - who was wearing purple lipstick and eyeshadow to match her hair - seemed to be having a ball as she belted out some of her biggest hits on stage.

At one point, the 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' chart-topper even treated the audience to her playing the recorder. She also began writhing about on the floor during her energetic performance.

Catch some of the show below:

Fans of the artist were enthralled by the show she put on, with many reminding other netizens that age really is just a number.

One person wrote: "Not your typical 'old lady' with mauve hair. She has always been and will continue to be a ray of sunshine"

Other commenters were thrilled that her performance style hasn't changed a bit over the years - it's just as unconventional as it was back in her heyday.

One said she loves how "radical" the 80s megastar is. She wrote: "I especially loved when her and Adam Lambert sang at the Kennedy Center for Cher. I have played that over and over."

Lauper seems to have debuted the purple ‘do in early March, with her first Instagram post featuring the striking hairstyle having been posted on March 2.

In a recent interview, she said that she feels no pressure to remain a big name in the industry, telling AARP The Magazine: "You can't live your whole life worrying about staying famous.

"If losing some fame means doing what you want, you gotta go with what you want' she added, stressing that chasing her passion is more important than staying in the limelight."
